EARLY ACCESS: Backroad Kitchen eats the whole menu at Ramen Alley

Hey Backroaders — early access day. Dev is back at it, and this time the whole board is on the table: eleven bowls, one sitting, at the noodle counter everyone in town argues about. Wear loose pants and enjoy.

Dev, I have to tell you my partner only watches this series because she likes seeing you get noodle-drunk and suffer through bowl nine. She says the last three bowls are the whole show. I watch for the interviews with the cooks, which is apparently the boring reason.
