We too occasionally enjoy a fine restaurant; usually ethnic though, say Thai or Malay
In New Haven?? Are there any decent places? When I go home (Manchester area), I don't venture out except to accompany family. I've had good Thai in Seattle (Malay too), but never in Connecticut. And my grandparents live in East Haven / New Haven... I just wouldn't be able to imagine it.
I do make a mean panang curry.
I am so jealous. Teach me!
And if you know how to make Phad See Iew, bring it on brotha!
