I’ve observed a lot of people tend to eat the same things over and over when they visit Thailand (PAD THAI ANYONE??). This makes sense: a lot of the restaurants catered to tourists feature the same items on the menu and a lot of tourists are absolute pussies about spicy food. Now, I’m not especially …
Visitors and new Atlantans alike may be surprised to find that Atlanta has some of the best exotic eating around.
