Searching for food and recalled that they re-did Pearl Brewery.
This was truly a brewery, probably less chic and not much grass patches everywhere. If you ever had Pearl beer, it was the cheapest beer we had after I turned 21. And actually it's not easy to find Pearl Beer in Texas even today.
On the campus, they re-purposed the Bottling Department into a Food Hall. There are about 6 of 7 stalls, definitely not as many as I had pictured.
One stall stood out, was Tenko Ramen.
Never heard of them before, but they have what the kid would eat: noodles.
You can see the price is on the higher end. Let's see how the food comes out.
Got a bowl of noodles (for the kiddo) and a sandwich for me. I've never paid for $10 for a bowl of kids noodles before. It literally has noodles and broth. The noodles they used is Sun Noodles, which is known for their egg noodles. The broth is a chicken miso broth. You can really taste that. But hey, he can polish half a bowl by himself.
The sandwich was a Chicken Katsu, which is fried chicken. It has some kimchi mayo, some pickles, lettuce. The chicken has a kick to it, it's not like a Nashville Spicy hot, but it does have a kick on its way down. The bread does help, and I did finish the entire thing.
You can order ahead and pickup if you want to have an easy picnic sitting outside. Otherwise, they ask for your phone and text you when your order is ready. Most all of the stalls are cashless.
Afterwards, we just walked around a bit and see how they restore so many parts of the brewery to it's former glory. Would've love to back here once it's less hot. It is really meant to be an outdoor activity place.
