This LA Weekly Flickr pool photo comes to you from photographer R. E. ~. (Yes, I know, but that's what you get when you keep uploading a whole lot of really good pictures.) The shot, of shoyu ramen at Zapp Simply Asian in Valencia, makes us want ramen even more than usual. Which is pretty much all the time anyway. And it's pretty cool how the light shows up looking remarkably like a Japanese flag. If you have any brilliant shots of food you've taken around town recently, you might consider uploading them on our Flickr pool. Never know where they might show up.
