"I am pretty sure that chef Ravi will take over the world with this spam. I love everything about it. The texture and flavor is right on. I have never had a better version. The dish as a whole is so comforting and makes me really happy when I eat it. Every now and then you have to close your eyes when you take a bite from a dish—this is one of them for me."
