* Tommy's Rule for Ethnic Eats *
comments

If you want to know if an ethnic restaurant is good or not, look at the ratio of ethnic folks eating to the ratio of people not from the ethnic group that the restaurant portends to be from.



In the case of the Thai temple in Berkeley, the ratio is about 1 Thai person for every 86 white pseudo-hippie/poor Cal student looking for something to kick the post-partying hangover. Not good...I should have recognized it, but the chaotic swarms of food-grubbing bodies overcame my personal prime directive of ethnic cuisine.



So how is the food? Awful...just simply awful. I mean I saw Thai people walking around with food from the other places (even snapping into a Slim Jim) rather than consuming temple food. And now, I know better...this stuff is awful. Just awful (can I say it enough?). I guess the all of the non-Thais here just don't care because they don't know any better...but for me (the only Thai guy to actually buy food here), I've had my fill of "trick the white people" temple food.
