Thai Food

People complain a lot about the cost of living in San Francisco. While you might not be able to purchase any kind of dwelling with a roof for less than $500,000, you can find decent Thai food for under $10 a plate in every neighborhood in the city. It's an industry unto itself.

Some of my favorites include Tom Kha Gai (a lemongrass soup made with ginger and coconut milk shown above), Yellow Curry Chicken (a mild sweet curry with potatoes and carrots), Penang Curry, and the ever popular Thai Iced Tea. It's basically liquid crack. If you have a cold, Tom Kha Gai is amazing. It clears your head and makes you feel better in a flash. When I moved away from San Francisco for a few years, I used to crave Thai food. Now it's at my fingertips from morning 'til night.

Some people have drug addictions or alcohol issues. Not me... Just set me up with some Thai food. I'm happy as a clam.
