No more bowl-half-empty attitude

Lamenting the lack of great ramen in the Boston area yesterday, I neglected to mention that there's hope on the noodle horizon.

I got a note from a reader this morning reminding me of that. She says:

"You might already be aware of this, but Wagamama, a popular UK chain of cheap, fast Japanese food, is coming to Faneuil Hall sometime this spring!"

That makes my bowl look half full. I love Wagamama! I used to eat there all the time when I studied in London as a poor college student. (And later when I returned as a slightly-less-poor tourist.) I can't wait to eat a steaming bowl of Wagamama ramen (with shiitake, kamaboko, shrimp, and other goodies), chili chicken ramen, or Thai-flavored kare lomen, washed down with elderflower-flavored sparkling water.

I think I can make it till spring.
