In our latest podcast, Dana Zukofsky is joined by Sarah Gavigan the Founder and CEO of the Otaku Group, a ramen restaurant based in Nashville, Tennessee. This week, Sarah shares how she got her start, why ramen, and how she pivoted when COVID-19 hit.

After 17 successful years in the advertising, film production and music licensing world, Sarah Gavigan made the shift many dream of: to become a chef. In 2010 she relocated with her family back to her native Nashville, and in in the transition found she desperately missed the Japanese food culture of Los Angeles. In 2012, she took the plunge and taught herself how to make the famed and beloved RAMEN. With lines around the block for each of her pop-ups it was clear what came next. In 2015, the POP Nashville Hospitality Group was formed and POP Nashville, a pop-up restaurant and space for culinary innovation, was born. In 2016, Otaku Ramen opened, and in 2017 Little Octopus followed with a concept of fresh, clean vibrant vegetable forward food. In November 2018, Sarah published her first cookbook, RAMEN OTAKU: MASTERING RAMEN AT HOME. LET'S CONNECT! TEXT : (914) 996-4569 EMAIL: Inserra@sabre.life AND, DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW ME!

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.

Stock and broth are the backbone of reduced waste cooking. In the most efficient kitchens, they're made from the scraps of other recipes saved dutifully in a container in the freezer. Stock or broth can be used in so many ways to improve a wide array of dishes, but there's so much confusion surrounding the difference between the two, it's ridiculous! This episode starts out with very proper and technical description of stock and broth from ramen kween and Hannah's former boss, Sarah Gavigan, author of "Ramen Otaku, Mastering Ramen at Home." She tells us how she makes the base for ramen at her restaurant Otaku Ramen here in Nashville and gives us some insight into which cooking vessels we should use (and not use) in order to make the best possible stock at home. Then, in typical Pantry Raid fashion, Hannah dials it back with her lazy home cook's perspective on the subject. She answers listener questions about stock and broth, reads some very no-nonsense wisdom from old cookbooks and makes terrible jokes about corn risotto.

London chef and author Yotam Ottolenghi puts out cookbooks that meet at the intersection of cool and practical—with a recipe development process that is part Warhol Factory, part Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, and pure Ottolenghi. After tackling baking with his last book (Sweet), and before that putting Israeli cooking on the international stage (Jerusalem), he most recently tackled the concept of simplicity—and how Simple (the book’s title and mission statement) means something different to all home cooks. You mean a 30-minute simple meal isn’t exactly simple for everybody single person attempting to make it? What a notion!Also on this episode, we speak with Sarah Gavigan, the talented chef and author of a new cookbook: Ramen Otaku. The book promises to guide readers through the totally worthwhile process of making bowls of ramen at home. The pressure cooker is your friend! It’s a great read.This episode is sponsored by Joule by ChefSteps.

What do the music industry and ramen have in common? 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] –Sarah Gavigan on Sharp & Hot  

In this episode we discuss: how being a connector will serve you when as a restaurant owner; the importance of seeing talent in others and putting them in "the right lane"; why you should celebrate when your staff members leave you; tips to getting started as a POP-UP; why its important to create an email list; why you need to treat your restaurant as a medium to express who you are and tell your story; and understanding that success takes time and to not get discouraged when it doesn't happen over night.  Sarah Gavigan is a graduate of Arizona State University. Gavigan has always been an entrepreneur at heart. She perused her entrepreneurism matching independent artist music into commercials. Somewhere in her 20 years, while living in Los Angeles, Gavigan developed a passion for Japenese ramen. Today Gavigan is exercising her passion as a the founder of Little octopus, Otaku South, and Pop Nashville.

This is the Above The Noise Music Industry Podcast #2. Although the ATN interviews will be released once a week, this week there are two! The reason for it is a follow up Q&A with Sarah Gaivgan next week (Monday April 2nd at 5pm PST). So take a listen and get your questions ready! More info will be available at www.playitloudmusic.com Sarah Gavigan Music Supervisor Founder/Author, Get Your Music Licensed Sarah Gavigan is founder/author of the groundbreaking online educational resource Get Your Music Licensed. With over a decade of experience as an award-winning music supervisor, Gavigan has created a unique online community as the platform to share her insight and expertise on the notoriously hard to access music licensing industry. “After years of being asked the same question, “how do I get my music licensed?” I decided I was ready to give teaching a try. Soon after UCLA graciously allowed me to develop and teach my own course in the Summer of 2009 and again in the Winter of 2010. The natural next step was to write a book, but when I began to see the trend of online learning and the incredible benefits for both the writer and the reader/student I changed course and developed my entire platform online.” Gavigan has spent the majority of her professional life as an entrepreneur, almost by accident. After owning and running her own talent agency for 7 years, Gavigan was drawn to the burgeoning world of music licensing by a conversation started in a van in Iceland in 1999. The conversation with Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation led Gavigan to understand that Indies were interested in finding a way to get their music to brands and agencies. In 2000 Ten Music was born to provide exactly that service to the growing Indie music community. Gavigan pioneered a business model that enabled representation for Indies, allowing their music access to the brightest and best in the vast national advertising network. Gavigan began to dedicate 100% of her time to establishing and building a divergent new business model of music representation and branding. Pairing her passion for independent music with her innate entrepreneurial spirit, Gavigan knew she’d found a distinct niche. Her outspoken thought leadership has defined Gavigan as an industry expert. Today Gavigan is a music supervisor/producer for advertising agencies worldwide, consulting for brands on music licensing, and writing about her experiences in music licensing and the music industry. Gavigan has presented at workshops and conferences around the globe, including CMJ, SXSW and Belfast Music Week. For a free video on music licensing you can go here: http://bit.ly/GNxvxl
