MIKE SATINOVER
Mike Satinover is a ramen enthusiast and amateur cook best known by the moniker “Ramen Lord.” In addition to giving away countless ramen recipes through Reddit and Instagram, he writes a column for TheTakeout.com regarding the finer points of ramen. His recipes have been featured on Serious Eats and have used by ramen chefs across the United States as benchmarks for various styles in ramen. Most recently, he has hosted a popup ramen shop called “Akahoshi,” and his ramen has been called “the best ramen in Chicago” by The Chicago Tribune. He has also hosted popup ramen events in Atlanta, Nashville, and in NYC. Eater Chicago called him “Internet-Famous,” which he finds mildly hilarious and weird.
Mike has studied ramen meticulously for the last 10 years. He focuses on Sapporo style ramen, having lived in Sapporo for a year, and is known for going to Japan and consuming several dozens of bowls of ramen in week-long stints. He is passionate about exposing the secrets of ramen and demystifying the dish for consumers and chefs alike.
