Day 17 "If You Can't Stand The Heat"


. . . stay out of Thai restaurants.

Just thinking how much I would love some #3 0f 4 heat levels Pad Thai. Then suddenly remembered the picture I took last year and have no real use for, yet can't seem to delete.

It was a fun place to dine, in Chantilly, VA. I had seen the Throwdown episode on The Food Network a couple of times and figured it was the closest I'd ever get to a Throwdown with Bobby Flay. It appeared that Nong was entertaining a private party with a cooking lesson at a nearby table.

I can say with certainty, that #3 heat Pad Thai was the hottest food I have ever eaten, yet it was truly delicious on so many levels. I have eaten all of the different chilis in New Mexican cooking, but none compare to this level of Thai seasoning. The highest heat, #4, would have blown even my head off!
