Thai in Atlanta
I wouldn’t have expected great Thai food in Atlanta of all places. I was proven wrong when we ate at the insistence of a newly met colleague at this upscale Thai restaurant in downtown Atlanta (www.nanfinedining.com) earlier this week. The chef is a Thai born, New York (Tamarind, Manhattan) trained Thai-American of restaurateur parents. She also trained under the Chef for the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay (I know this since he happened to be dining there the night I was there). I am not a big fan of Thai normally, to the disappointment of many including my wife, but this was truly good food, a nice wine list, and a decent upscale setting - and in addition, very clever spa-esque restrooms ! Definitely worth a try if you are in town.
