Thai House in Jackson, MS
For those of you who don't already know, Thai House has moved up 55 a bit to the same street the Cherokee and Larwil Lanes bowling alley are on. They're in what used to be a Moe's burrito joint. Anyway, this is one of my top 5 restaurants in town, hands down. My husband and I eat there about once a week. We lived in New York for 10 years, and Thai House's excellent dishes could stand up to any Thai food we ever had there. Get an appetizer, and then the Tom Yam (the fish or the fish/shrimp/squid combo are our faves) and any entree and share all of it. You won't be disappointed.
Two Business Dinners in New Orleans
I think it's so super lame to rag on Emeril's restaurants. Sure they're popular with tourists, but they're well-run, the service is great, and the food is excellent. I will never understand why some people hate Emeril so much. How can you give somebody a hard time because he's popular? Give me a break. New Orleans has never needed people like Emeril as much as it does now. Here's a guy who puts New Orleans in the spotlight in front of millions of people every day. So tourists like him. So what? Get over it. And a note to "Laura D.": if you've never eaten at any of his restaurants, how can you pass judgement on them? Just curious.
