Spicy bowls worth the chalk dust

Sunday mornings I'm elbow-deep in chalk at Dogpatch Boulders, flash a V4, fail it twice, and limp out starving — that's when the hunt starts. These are the bowls I'd crawl to, the ones that make my eyes water like a too-hot oven mitt moment. Broths reduced down like a good caramel, noodles with real chew — not gummy, not blown out. Built this list one burnt tongue at a time. Anyway, carbs.
