Ramen noodles? Yep! Los Angeles is known for taking a fancier twist on this otherwise simple dish.

I didn't know I was going to write those words when I started, so this must come from somewhere deep down. TV dinners which is to say, Salisbury Steak, Sliced Turkey, or Enchiladas were fairly common in my upbringing. They begat Stouffer's French Bread Pizza, which begat Totino's and Ramen Noodles, which begat Michelina's wheels n' cheese. To that I say you haven't lived until you've doctored a Swanson Hungry-Man with seasoned salt and melted butter.
