Our new favorite restaurant features forks, happy servers and perfect brown rice.

While Sam is half-asleep in the family room watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train I thought I’d do a little Howdygrammin’ and review a terrific restaurant at the same time. Sam and I had an early dinner tonight at Thai Star, an adorable little spot in Addison (far north Dallas) with the most incredible Thai cuisine EVER. We got there a few minutes before the doors opened at 5 and customers were already standing around outside waiting to get in. Now I know why.
I ordered a chef’s special called Kapow Tilapia served on a plate shaped like a great big fish; Sam had Thai Sweet & Sour Chicken on a normal plate not shaped like a fish. You get to choose your level of “heat” on a scale of 1 to 5 — I’m a 4 and Sam’s a 3, in case you’re interested — and everything includes a fork, a happy server and a perfect mound of brown rice. I’d also like to mention that the décor is awfully damn cute, too, like eating inside a little grass hut. We’re definitely planning to go back. This would be an excellent place to take houseguests except we never have any. (Incidentally, that’s a hint.)

Holy crap, I need some dessert bad. Thanks for stopping by.
