I don't eat much instant ramen these days because there's ramen shops in

Those instant cup noodles in foam are awful, but the packaged ramen is
OK.  A ramen shop is a rare sight in my area.  Some can be found in
parts of Pittsburgh.  I hear that they are good, but expensive.  I'll
have to try for myself some day.

IMO it would be a waste of money, Michael.

IMO anything but a diet of rice and beans is a waste of money.

Honestly, all restaurant food is more expensive than making it at
home.  A bowl of ramen in a good restaurant is light-years better
than making it from a packet.  The ramen they use are not the dried,
pre-fried things in the packet.  Either they make their own, or they
use a decent brand like Sun ramen.
