The Afternoon I Helped Jo of My Last Bite Eat Her 228th, 229th and 230th Dishes at Jitlada (July 30, 2011)
Jo and I wanted to hug it out after our published Huffington Post interview. We’d meet at Jitlada, of course, wherein she’s eating her way through the entire menu of 300+ Thai medleys. Today, her total count: 230.
#228 Sweet and Sour Duck
#229 Soft Shell Crab With Mango Salad
#230 Jitlada Delight — Chinese Broccoli and Cashews
Let it be said that I am officially in love with Jo. She is an infectious darling. She sent me off with Jazz’s very lethal Thai Iced Coffee to-go and promised me a “Greatest Hits” Jitlada meal soon.
Unless we get onion rings at Akasha first.
