Sarah Gavigan of Otaku Ramen has become a true powerhouse in the American ramen scene and is one of the pioneers of American style ramen. Through her mission of bringing ramen to the ramenless, she has grown the Otaku group from a popup to multiple Otaku Ramen locations in Nashville Tenessee.
In this episode Sarah talks about how she got her start in ramen, how to run a successful ramen shop in the US, and her thoughts on how restaurants will need to navigate a post COVID world.
I had a great time talking to Sarah, and I think this episode is super informative for anyone who has dreams or aspirations of opening up a ramen shop or popup in the future.

Tune in to this week’s episode of _ Sharp & Hot _ as Chef Emily welcomes Sarah Gavigan to the studio talking how she went from licensing music in LA to cooking in Nashville for a living. Sharing how eating ramen had always brought so much joy, paired with the subsequent lack of ramen in the Nashville area, Sarah decided to dedicate herself to learning the craft of making traditional ramen. After testing recipes with friends, she started doing pop-ups all over town with great success. Finally, in 2014 Gavigan and her husband Brad opened POP Nashville, which housed Otaku South until May 2015. This long journey eventually lead them to what is now Nashville’s first dedicated ramen shop – Otaku Ramen. Sarah expands on her second restaurant, Little Octopus, a modern restaurant serving flavors from everywhere, ingredients from here, and options for everyone.
“Running a pop up is like being on a film set: you have to think ahead, organize, and then go for it!” [14:30]
“If you have something interesting and people want it, it’s not a trend, you’re feeding a culture something that they don’t have.” [17:45]
