The New Krung Thai Restaurant has great chicken Satay, and Pad Thai. The Thai iced tea uses shaved ice, so if you let it melt, it's kinda like a shake.

The food portions are huge. I didn't have room for dessert.

The ambience is low light with candle light. It's a great place to go out on a date, and then afterwards head over to Santana Row for drinks.

I'm going to go again.

I went to downtown San Jose yesterday to drop my pal, Dersh, at the San Jose Museum of Art.




Dersh thought the salad she ordered was great. It even had an orchid on it, and I had the lemoned chicken. It was deelish.

The server asked me how I was which was pretty professional. We got our food pretty quickly during a lunch hour.

In Baltimore, there's the Brewer's Art that everyone else knows about.



Then there's the Brewer's Art that's a secret.

If you're looking for highly experimental beer, then try their "Resurrection." It's made with yeast that's been killed and then brought back to life with lots of sugar.

Also, the salads and pizzas are excellent.

I had the proscuitto, duck endive salad with thin slices of toasted peanuts, and three thousand plus miles later on the west coast, I'm still thinking of it.
