Southern Thai food in Philly. I have never been to Thailand but am willing to relocate. Kalaya has received many accolades, and while there were many standouts the meal in it's entirety was the best in the past 30 days.

Phở gà.

 

Was forced upon me by my '2-legged animals only' mom in town.

 

I knew we'd be missing the gelatinous mouthfeel so I added an extra KG of feet, wings, and heads 😂 

 

Upped the spice and toasted them to the edge - especially star anise and coriander seeds.

 

Charred the hell out of the ginger and onions too.

 

If I want Phở, I'm still going beef, but it turned out solid. You can tell from the finished bowl how much fat I managed to extract into the broth.

A few of the delicious meals I had in St. Maarten. The oxtail was fall of the bone good. Uncle Richard at Gutside cooks up some mean Creole chicken and ribs. But that red snapper with the creole sauce on the side in a little hole in the wall restaurant? Good Lord, that topped the cake!

Anyone from Toronto knows the Greek presence on the Danforth. 

Our household spot was Astoria (lookin' back it wasn't as fancy as I thought it was). It's gone downhill in recent visits, but the tzatziki is as free of moisture as anywhere outside Greece. 

You will be able to kill vampires the next morning.

Took some tips from @BigGuns on this tzatziki - was delicious, but still a bit wet.. gotta squeeze those cukes like they owe me money next time. Chicken pieces were way too small for proper souvlaki — I basically made ‘Greek Yakitori’ — but that’s what happens when you decide to cook at 7:32pm...

Looks bomb!  Yeah, grab some cheese cloth and strangle those cucumbers until your hands hurt. When your chicken (or pork) is smaller than you'd like, I've found that squeezing them together and making each stick a bit more dense helps with minimizing drying them out. Kali orexi!

I’ve eaten at my share of Michelin starred restaurants, but this lobster roll appetizer at The Corner Store was one of the best things I have ever eaten.

It’s my 24th anniversary.

My youngest son lives in Manhattan and he said that the restaurant is hard to get into at times.

Virtually impossible. I know someone that can get in anywhere, but I try to spread out the favors to once every 2 or 3 years. I don't want to be one of those people who always asks.

Been a while since I fired up the KJ but had a great T-Bone on it today. It was huge so it looks like I’ll be having steak and eggs in the morning. 😋

Looks very good, Gary but I can't recall any outstanding dish because my wife is an excellent cook and she can make out of mediocre ingredients a gourmet dinner.

Chicken Thigh | Mole Rojo | Arroz Rojo, Refried Beans

Built on guajillo, ancho, pasilla, & arbol, thickened with pumpkin seeds, sesame, and almonds, and finished with a touch of dark chocolate.

[ha_banos]

Jjajangmyeon. Strangely moorish... but did not compute for the wife as she left all the black stuff.

[Greenhorn2]

The fancy/exotic dishes are great, but sometimes you just gotta get back to your roots. Honey select sweet corn, half runner string beans, stewed potatoes and hamburger steak with some homemade biscuits. Slap ya granny good!

That looks so yummy! We had some Japanese A5 Wagyu for Christmas and it was excellent. Served with homemade yuzu-kosho sauce.

My new foo foo drink tumbler my lady friend in North Carolina made me! I love me a good cold brew!
