Top Ten Thai Tuesday redux

After yesterday's contentious Top Ten, I've settled on a more soothing topic for next week, but I want to get into work so I can get a nice piece of art to go with it before I make an announcement. Check back later.

Actually I was delighted to get so many good recommendations of places I had never heard of. I've started a list, and my next Top Ten Thai Tuesday may be all restaurants I haven't even been to yet. Well worth the grief I took!

(As an aside, I wish Thai restaurants would give themselves names that would differentiate themselves more. That's the best thing about Lemongrass and, yes, a second one is coming to Baltimore later this year.)

Anyway, it struck me that I should have an Official Disclaimer (like a car ad) that I link to with every Top Ten Tuesday. Faithful readers of this blog have heard me say it again and again, but for those who only check in when a list interests them, I need something every time.

It would go something like this. ... 

Official Disclaimer

At the most I only review 50 or 60 restaurants in a year. Let's say it's 50. If I made a Top Ten only out of those places (and even some of those early ones would be out of date in a year) that would take care of five weeks of Top Ten, leaving nothing for me to do for the other 47 Tuesdays.

So these Top Ten Tuesday lists are for entertainment purposes only, made up with the help of other Sun foodies with input from knowledgeable readers of this blog. They are to get the discussion going, and I appreciate your corrections, disagreements and substitutions -- posted without profanity or actionable statements, please -- and I understand that mean comments only reflect your passion for the subject.

sheesh...if you're really going to get picky about the location of Banthai, it's actually in Cathedral Hill.....LOL

Now, I know that kathy's comment made you laugh out loud because I laughed so hard I am crying just as I did yesterday!

if you are ever in western MD, stop by The Banana Leaf in LaVale. It has the best Thai food I've ever had. Not much to look at, but you will not regret it.

I went to My Thai last night (located where minatos used to be) and would recommend it.

It was good. It was inexpensive. The service was friendly and helpful. Go check it out.

I had a great salad #24 and my husband had our favorite pad thai
