Ramen-Based Burger Buns

The Red Ramen Burger Features Buns Made Out of Instant Noodles

— March 29, 2016 — Lifestyle
Popular restaurant chain Red Robin recently announced that it will be making the famous 'Red Ramen Burger' available nationwide. While the burger has been a popular menu option in New York and Los Angeles for quite some time, now fans across the country will have an opportunity to sample the hybrid dish.

As of April 4th, consumers will be able to order the Red Ramen Burger at Red Robin locations across the country. The burger itself is the chain's own take on Keizo Shimamoto's original Ramen Burger, which debuted in 2013 at a food festival in Brooklyn, New York. Red Robin's version of the dish differs slightly from the original in that it consists of a beef patty topped with teriyaki, Chiu Chow aioli, chili-infused shredded cabbage, onion, carrot and fresh basil, all of which are served on two burger buns made entirely from ramen noodles.

Trend Themes
1. Ramen-inspired Dishes - Other restaurants may be inspired to experiment with ramen noodles as a unique and unexpected ingredient in their own dishes.
2. Alternative Burger Buns - The concept of replacing traditional buns with non-traditional ingredients such as ramen noodles opens up new possibilities for creativity in the burger industry.
3. Asian-inspired Fusion Cuisine - The Red Ramen Burger and other dishes like it may inspire chefs to blend elements of Asian cuisine with classic Western dishes in new and exciting ways.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - Other fast food chains may be inspired to create their own twist on this fusion food in order to stay competitive and appeal to younger consumers looking for unique offerings.
2. Casual Dining Restaurants - Casual dining restaurants may look to incorporate unusual ingredients like ramen noodles in their dishes to stand out from competitors and offer something different to their customers.
3. Noodle Producers - Noodle producers may explore new forms and flavors of instant noodles to make them more versatile and appealing to chefs as a creative ingredient in dishes like the Red Ramen Burger.
