LANZHOU RAMEN SOUP
The first thing I want to eat when there’s a nip in the air? Noodle soup. But not just any noodle soup, I want a bowl of warmth from LanZhou Ramen in Doraville. The name is a misnomer—they don’t serve ramen, which is a Japanese dish. It’s a Chinese restaurant (LanZhou is a city in northwest China) that specializes in hand-pulled and knife-cut noodles. You can actually see the chef making his noodles in the large display window when you’re eating there. Choose your protein and noodle style (my go-to is duck with thick, at noodles) and slurp until you don’t need that sweater anymore.
