I may be right. I may be wrong. But there is a lot of gray area in-between.

Well, I did actually suggest they should let restaurants allow smoking if they provide complete health benefits for their employees.trailerkid wrote: You're right. Mandating policy for the greater good of the community never works.

Obviously there are some instances where a mandate is needed. But cities need to be more flexible and creative in looking for solutions to get desired outcomes rather than reaching for the heavy-handed regulation as the first tool. Part of the great things about cities are the diversity, innovation and entrepreneurship of its people, and if we start telling businesses how to handle every aspect of their business, it will have a stifling effect.

Re: Noodle places
In terms of design...people in KC are ALREADY pretty much doing whatever the fuck they want. That's the whole problem. And the business community is still stifled even with this laissez-faire attitude toward design. When you start to create cohesive visual landscapes in the city it benefits the business' bottom line as well as the citizen's engagement with the built environment around him/her. You see that from coast to coast.KCMax wrote: Well, I did actually suggest they should let restaurants allow smoking if they provide complete health benefits for their employees.

Re: Noodle places
So incentivize the behavior you want to see. Work with BIDs on some sort of sign program. There are other solutions. Get creative. I'm not advocating doing absolutely nothing.trailerkid wrote: In terms of design...people in KC are ALREADY pretty much doing whatever the fuck they want. That's the whole problem.

I agree, Ramen in L.A. is gaining immense popularity.KCMax wrote: No one ever answered this and I have the same question - can anyone get a good bowl of ramen in KC? Seems like fresh-made ramen is a big culinary trend, at least on the coasts. I saw some program on it the other day and it got me jonesing for some good noodles.
Most good ramen places in Cali are Japanese owned. The problem is that I don't know of any authentic Japanese noodle houses in KC.
Rainbow on 103rd and Metcalf has Ramen on the menu. I've never had it, but you're probably better to walk across the street to the Oriental Market and buy some Shin Ramen and buy the fixings and make it yourself lol.

Friends on 39th Street has ramen, but I've never ordered it, so I can't vouch.

Re: Noodle places
Looks like we've solved the Ramen shortage (Columbus Park, 2 in midtown, Waldo). What's the hot fad in LA we can expect here in 2022/2023?skim82 wrote:I agree, Ramen in L.A. is gaining immense popularity.KCMax wrote: No one ever answered this and I have the same question - can anyone get a good bowl of ramen in KC?

Re: Noodle places
Shio pretty good, above avg.
Would love to see a fresh noodle shop counter in KC where you select from a case...
This is actually pasta but I've seen noodle shop counters like this on W coast...

You would think this is something that Shio would do, they might be the only Ramen shop that has its own noodle machine. This might be a great Idea for Shio to consider if they want to stick out from the other 4
Re: Noodle places
Would be cool at Shio, but that space is small/narrow. I assume the case would have to be pretty large to contain everything - even for their somewhat limited menu. I could be wrong.

Re: Noodle places
Typically this would be used at 'order at the counter' noodle joints, not sit down service places. Though Shio could easily become a counter joint w/out full service. Not sure why so many KC ethnic eat places think they have to have full service - not aware of any Thai restaurant in KC that isn't full service. KC could use more upper end counter ethnic eats (I mean made-to-order of course). And along streetcar line with lots of pedestrian flow, such places only need a few tables - though there does need to be alot more public seating/benches or pocket parks along line.
