I really appreciate the kind words.
Crystal called dibs on the Thai food map update in the last round of updates so that’s probably on its way. Man, I would love to tackle the different regions of Vietnamese food. It would be pretty tough, though. The vast majority of Little Saigon practices Southern-style cooking (due to the huge refugee community there). That’s why there’s such a struggle to find a real Hanoi-style pho (and @JeetKuneBao is all about that Pho B). My girlfriend who is from Bangkok (where Northern-style pho is much more prominent) laments the lack of good Hanoi pho out here, as well.
I know some people frown upon the practice of comparing dishes to foods from other cultures, but I think it’s mostly helpful and I try to be culturally sensitive about it.
