Behind the Scenes

"Whole steamed pumpkin with oxtail, dried scallops, water chestnuts in a sauce that tasted like it might have fermented tofu in it but uncorroborated due to language difficulties (barely convinced them to seat us). At Donghai, 51st Street and 7th ave, Sunset Park. Fun night with the homies!"

"Mining the menu at Golden Rich continues with lunch today: braised pork on rice. Braised Egg and tofu and some pickled bamboo shoots round it off FTW"

"New special @pokpokny Yam Makheua Thet: heirloom tomatoes with fish sauce, green Thai chiles and coriander leaf. Learned from Pa Leuan in Ban Mai, Mae Rim (she also makes our laap spice) as an accompaniment to Laap Meuang, the northern Thai version of laap, but it’s just plain good by itself!"

"Came for the cocktails, stayed for the club sammich! First night in style @exconditions . Kicked out the jams, herd! @cookingissues @donbert and team, thanks much for a cracking night."

"Plaa Duuk Yaang Naam Tok at the OG @lotusofsiam . Khun Saipin and her family preside over one of the best and most successful Thai restaurants in the country, with love and thoughtfulness. Truly an honor and treat to be able to come here and get taken care of in such a hospitable way. Much love and respect 🙏🙏🙏 and congrats and the great new location!"

"Doing my part to eat less meat: chick pea ramen @momofukulasvegas . Great that you can roll in after midnight and still get a great meal in a casino. The days of $3.99 buffets are ancient history. Thanks @momolongplay team!"
