In May of this year, Ernie was a sushi chef who had just begun selling ramen kits to supplement his income due to his hours being cut by Covid-19. Fast forward 5 months later, he is in the final stages of opening Modesto's first craft ramen shop. In this episode, I wanted to catch up with Ernie and see how he's gone from kits to his own shop in such a short time. Covid has been incredibly difficult for so many in the restaurant industry. Ernie's story is one of the few bright spots of someone doing everything he can to make lemonades out of the lemons of 2020. If you'd like to support Ernie's dream you can visit his Kickstarter page. He's fully funded but he still has some sweet rewards. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/konfuciouseats/konfucious-eats For updates on his restaurant, you can check out his Instagram, @konfuciouseats  ------------------------------------------------------- Way of Ramen Instagram: @wayoframen Way of Ramen Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wayoframen Shop Way of Ramen: https://wayoframen.com/shop Way of Ramen on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/wayoframen   ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayoframen/support

CWTM: Interview with Ernie Watkins

In today's show I sit down and to Ernie Watkins a sushi chef from Central California who’s right in the middle of his transition from making sushi to making ramen. I wanted to get Ernie on the show for a couple of reasons, 1 he’s just a really nice guy and 2. The speed at which he’s gone from making his first bowl of ramen to selling 100 ramen kits at a time is pretty remarkable. I think the two of us started trying to make ramen roughly around the same time and I have yet to sell anything that I’ve made, so I really wanted to talk to him and try to learn the steps he took to secure locations for his first popups to marketing his ramen kits during the stay at home orders.
