I wanna open a store called "Don't Patronize Me!" and watch how quickly I go bankrupt.

The only theory I've come up with is that Thai is the new big food, the sushi of the aughts.

*blinks with surprise* DC has had good Thai food for one decade if not two. Yes, the DC area has a lot of selfconsciously hip Thai restaurants, but it's by no means new around here.

Thailand/Australian bar with big screen football?

Yes, DC has had Thai for a long time, but it's my impression that the silly ones are new. And Thai is now in vogue, though it's been around forever.

Maybe it's just a regional thing. In college Indian food was the name you dropped to impress people, and sushi still held onto a little bit of hipness. Thai food was cooler than, say, Chinese or Mexican, but it wasn't what people drove 45 minutes to eat.

There's actually a Thai restaurant in Chicago called Thai Twee. I'm pretty sure they don't use Hello Kitty plates or play the Field Mice while you dine however.

Amateurist, Thai Twee is in Hyde Park on 53rd near Lake Park. Actually, I think it's the only Thai place in Hyde Park (which has at least 5) I've not eaten.

Chris you are DCILXOR? look out for FAPs!

Thai-phoon is a chain and is also located at the Pentagon Square new urbanist downtown next to pentagon city mall (that is enough to put me off). the best thai in the DC area is Duangrats, with prices to match, but it is out in Bailey's crossroads way out in the burbs...

Potentially racist question.

Speaking broadly, is there more joking around in Thai culture than other Asian cultures? Because not only are the names of Thai restuarants jokier than their Chinese, Koran, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Nepalese ounterparts in my area, but the proprietors of these establishments are also much jokier than their counterparts.
