Now I see the sign above. “Bahn Thai.” I see we're at 4646 Park Boulevard.
“It means 'Thai House.' We're opening this weekend,” says Sam. "Phone number's 619-299-6363."
“Soft opening, if we’re ready,” says Paul.
“It’ll be traditional Thai and not expensive,” says Kate. “Like $4.99 to $8.99.”
“And no MSG, and dishes for lactose intolerant people, and plenty of vegetarian,” says Jinda.
“This is the sixth restaurant I have opened,” says Sam. “Most in the Midwest. So the food should be good from the start.”
