  • Prepare your taste buds for a tantalizing THAI SPICY journey! On this fiery episode of Heat Eaters, our host, Chef Esther Choi, joins forces with her friend and renowned James Beard award-winning Chef, Justin Pichetrungsi. Their mission? To create spicy Thai Tacos for Justin's Thai Taco Tuesday event at his restaurant, Anajak Thai.
    Their culinary adventure kicks off with a visit to the Northern Thai Food Club in Los Angeles, where they seek flavor inspiration. From fermented crab papaya salad to sai oua, a flavorful herb-infused pork sausage, and spicy chili dips like nam prik num and nam prik ong, this sensory exploration aims to stoke the fires of inspiration for their tacos.
    Next, they visit Silom Supermarket in the heart of LA’s Thai Town, sourcing fresh and unique ingredients intended to infuse their tacos with bursts of flavors. They even secure a marinade paste crafted with Maeng Da, or giant water bugs, a regional delicacy in Thailand that could just be the ingredient of the year.
    Then, in a culinary showdown reminiscent of an Iron Chef battle, our grand finale sees Chefs Esther and Justin going head to head at Anajak Thai - each crafting their version of a spicy Thai taco. The challenge? To impress the discerning palates of their esteemed guests and judges, Chefs Jet Tila, Molly Baz, and Vanessa Lavorato. Will they withstand the heat?
    Tune in to see who earns the coveted bragging rights for creating the best spicy Thai taco, and embark on a THAI SPICY adventure packed with sizzling Thai flavors.

    Thai food is my favorite cuisine in the world (apart from Mexican), I enjoyed the cuisine in Thailand, its so delicious and yes, SPICY. As a Mexican American, I could taste similarities between Thai and Mexican cuisine, a fusion between the two would work so well, not sure why this hasnt been a thing.

      That’s so accurate,
      If you have a cold and you wanna eat spicy food and let the heat cure you
      Sichuan heat is like tug you to bed ,keep you warm and cozy until the cold goes away.
      Thai heat is like set to you to fire , and the fire actually kills the cold mercilessly , along the process, potentially killing you too so you need to reach for water and milk to tone down the heat.

    I love it when restaurants have spicy food that actually surprises me. I make my own hot sauce with peppers from my garden. Yesterday I had a wrap for lunch and tacos for dinner, all with a 6 month fermented Carolina Reaper sauce I made. It just hits differently than any restaurant’s spice. The heat is there, but the flavor is also complex and so exciting.

    Thai spicy pork salad is the most deceptively named dish I've ever eaten. Basically a plate of really hot pork with a handful of leaves mixed in to garnish.

    I like that you guys were trying the food as you went. Too many other shows (and people I know IRL), fail to do this so it's a coin toss on how the food will turn out or if it could have at least been better. I was taught to always taste things so it could be adjusted if need be before it was finished and while I'm sure most people know this, it doesn't always get shown or explained to people on shows like this.

    His explanation of Royal Thai Food is spot on. Sweating, breathing loudly (from eating spicy food), excessive emotions or expressions of any kind, are all no no’s in “proper” palace etiquette. Also spiciness increases your appetite, and eating excessively is also not “good manners”.
    It’s also a disappearing cuisine, because it is often very complicated, comes in small proportions, expensive, and although every dish is delicious and inspired practically all other Thai cuisines, isn’t particularly “exciting” or “stimulating”.
