(WXIN) — What could be better than scoring tickets to watch your favorite NFL team play and eating to your heart’s content? Getting paid to do it.

Originally from Japan, “these thin, round noodles are made from gluten-free buckwheat, though some brands include wheat in the mix, which would render them unsuitable for those with gluten-free needs,” Becky Krystal writes in her guide to Asian noodle varieties.
