His noodles saved my life more than once too...the most recent time being the dot com crash when our revenues tumbled 95% almost overnight.

My kids love them. They grew up eating them, especially in the lean times. Being a single mom, we had our rough times and those sure did help. And now that my son is off to college, he eats them quite frequently.

Rest in peace, Momofuku. And we thank you!
