Restaurant and food guide – Chiang Mai, Thailand
Fine but not fussy dining is how I would describe the food at Feast Society. Every dish I’ve had here has been incredibly nuanced and had me scratching my head with the thought “What did they put in there?” At every turn it was almost as if the chef schemed to keep their diner happily… Read More
Call it cheese on toast or a a grilled cheese, but don’t you dare call it anything other than one of the best culinary strides we’ve ever made. Two perfect foods that somehow, when combined, create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. What they’re doing at Walk the Walk ain’t some… Read More
From the moment I walked into Smoke Everyday I was befuddled with confusion. I knew I was at a smoke shack, as there were two barrel smokers out front. I even knew I was at the right smoke shack, due to the large illuminated sign near the door. But the moment I crossed the threshold… Read More
The diner is an American Icon. In my opinion, it’s right up there with Coca-Cola, cowboys, and the King. An irony free location, where the coffee is nothing special, but the people pouring it are. Frozen in time, it is what it was, and will remain that way. The menu is almost always the same… Read More
Every Saturday morning, tucked away in the trees at the end of Rural Road, there is a proverbial gold rush. Over 100 people, mostly Asian tourists, get up with the sun, take a ride to the edge of town, and queue up in a parking lot for a wooden gate to open. The reason, amazing… Read More
Sometimes substitutions can’t be made. No other cuisine I’ve come across exemplifies this as much as Italian. From ingredients and tools to humbled learning and practice, everything plays an essential role. You can’t drive a car with three wheels; not well at least. Zarelio Taverna does everything the right way. Their ingredients are imported from… Read More
Baan Bakery is the best substitute for a European Coffee shop I’ve found in Chiang Mai. It’s about more than just the pastries here, although they are on par with any no name bakery in Spain. It’s more than the quality of the coffee, because it’s honestly not that great. It’s the whole vibe of… Read More
Great atmosphere, proximity to home, and comfort are all nice when eating out, but I want to go to a place who’s main focus is the food. I’ll forgo AC, good lighting, comfy chairs, all while sitting a few feet from a busy street for the good stuff; and I’ll go far for it too.… Read More
There are many “best parts” of the pig. One cannot definitively say shoulder is better than belly. However, after a proper pulled pork sandwich or a thick cut rasher; I’ll be entirely convinced one way or the other. The ribs are a member of the “best parts” club, and at Rose’s Roadhouse & New York… Read More
Not all burgers are eaten for all occasions. There’s the late night “lower your standards” Big Mac, the Dad burger with barley melted cheddar and hints of lighter fluid, and the date burger typically served at some uncomfortable Minimalistic wooden booth. The burger at The Wild Hog Saloon, does not fall into any of these… Read More
What they are doing at My Kitchen is frankly criminal. How dare they give you THIS much food for THAT price. Everyday there is a rotating special for just 100 baht. I’ll repeat that. Everyday they are open, they do a different European main, side, veg, and assorted spread of breads for just 100 baht… Read More
Chiang Mai isn’t known for its pizza, this is a good thing, as if you visit here you shouldn’t just be eating pizza. No matter where you came from there is most certainly pizza available there. Now, Chiang Mai is known for its digital nomads, retirees, and people that generally see it as a better… Read More
