Season 9: Episode 03: Ivan Orkin

This week, New York is in the house!!! I have the King of the Slurp, Ivan Orkin, over to chat all things ramen, Japan, Chef’s Table and what a proper noodle slurp actually is.

Ivan found himself in Japan, as a New Yorker and did the thing most of us wouldn’t; he went and opened a ramen joint in Tokyo. Ramen and especially noodles are a Japanese delicacy. I wanted to find out the challenges he faced, the reception he received and how it overcame judgement to eventually win the locals over.

We touch on his time on Chef’s Table, which allowed him to become a global face of ramen and the plans he has for the future.

Don’t forget to catch some separate teasers on Instagram and TikTok of Ivan showing me how to do the slurp with a rather well known UK noodle brand! Not to be missed.
