I really thought Noodle Dude was going to be a sprawling directory of all the best pasta websites on the internet, each with a longform review full of useful info slathered with hilarious jokes, all delivered by a noodle-snorting mascot with a huge head. I was all ready to read writeups of the local ramen shops and Italian joints, thinking maybe this Noodle Dude would turn me on to some good shit I can show off to the Tinder ladies. I’m not sure if you know this, but a good bowl of high-end linguine or even a fancy bowl of truffle-infused mac and cheese can sometimes be the difference between getting laid by an internet stranger or going home alone to jack off again.
