Ramen Tatsuya & TRUTH BBQ
When news hit social media about another TatsuyaXTruth collaboration, I cleared my calendar for the event. I missed last year’s offering due to a prior engagement, but was determined not to miss again this year.
I arrived at 4PM to find about 50 people already in front of me in line. It started drizzling at some point, but no one seemed to bothered by a little rain or came prepared with umbrellas.
Once the doors open at 5PM, the line went pretty quickly, and I was able to order, be seated, and receive my food by 5:20PM.
Besides the brisket being more filling than the chashu, the broth was heavier than their usual Tonkotsu offering so it’s definitely not something you could eat daily. With that said, the brisket was tender and added a nice smokey flavor to the broth. I’ve never heard of Truth BBQ prior to last year, but I’d be interested to visit them on the next road trip just to try their brisket in a non-ramen environment.
Glad I braved the weather and stood in line. I got to try something new and I even made a new friend while waiting.
