EATING OUT AS A WAY OF LIFE
DISHES COMPATIBLE WITH THE ROCK AND ROLL LIFESTYLE

Thai Son Vietnamese Restaurant
East Oltorf Next To Click’s Billards.

Vietnamese cuisine is a novel way to dine for most of us raised on Mac and Cheese and White Bread. The components of these mostly traditional meals of meat or meat by-product, and starch seem rather unfamiliar. Tastes like a gamelan sounds. But look closer at the food and the staff of the restaurant, and you will discover what I figured out while having a delicious and reasonably priced meal at Thai Son (in the location of the long favorite and recently departed Pho Cong Ly Vietnamese Restaurant). Oh, you haven’t time to look? I’ll tell you instead, unimaginative one. Vietnamese food is the combination of Mexican Food without the cheese and Italian Food. There it is. I fucking said it. Noodles, Grilled Meat, Lettuce, and Jalepenos. Get it? Even the burritos...er, uh...eggrolls taste similar to something I got off a taco truck on 6th one morning. The tale-tell heart in this surrealistic gustitory experiment was the Tejano blaring from the kitchen and the Virgin of Guadelupe Tats on our server. The options on the menu are simple enough to be idiot-prooof for a retarded monkey like me, and good Lordy- Lord, the iced Vietnamese coffe was high octane jet fuel. Do yourself a huge personal favor, and overlook the somewhat sketchy interior decor and get yer grub on in true austin/mexican/italian style. Stay Full, and Have a safe and
happy Nude Year......... FoodLude.
