Thai Tyme, Manassas VA
Thai Tyme was a solid shoot years ago and I’m glad to see them rightfully being in business through the rough last few years. Always helps to have unique and good food offerings in the middle of nowhere to add some flavor to the spread out local community.
Le Thai Cuisine, Lorton VA
Le Thai Cuisine is definitely a hidden gem I got to shoot fairly early in my career and it’s tucked away in a pretty awkward spot in Lorton, VA, but the food here is worth it and has been keeping this place going for years! It also just happens to be a few doors down…
Professionalism I Haven’t Seen In a While – China Sea, Frederick MD
Boy have I heard, “oops, we forgot, and don’t have proper plates…,” number of times before, and I even had one random fried chicken place bail on the shoot because no one notified them that nice plates are WELL above my corpo pay grade, hahaha. China Sea crew, on the other hand, ran next door…
Thai Pan, Leesburg VA – More Than 93 Octane
When your GPS points you to a gas station, the very last thing you’d ever expect is a narrow, cozy, Thai restaurant and thanks to that I honestly had a hard time actually finding it in the little downtown of Leesburg. Food here was really good and my actual foodie assistant for the day agreed!…
Eattini Thai Kitchen, Ellicott City MD – story
Eattini was quite the Friday night story of a shoot and I loved the place ever since whenever I was in town afterwards. I had a virtual tour to shoot in the typical farm boonies of MD with the only way in or out via a 2 lane back road, so you can already guess…
Wok And Roll, Adams Morgan Washington DC
Got to shoot one of the funniest-named Asian fusion spots in AdMo, Wok and Roll, twice in my career and the first time was unfortunately for the still-dumpster-fire-of-a-company that deals with doors and rhymes with lash, as I’m sure they get plenty from both customers and partnered restaurants and still sport a complete garbage of…
Rice and Noodles Thai Gourmet, Alexandria VA
Rice and Noodles Thai was a cute little spot with colorful decor and otherwise excellent presentation and dishes. Smooth shoot without any hiccups.
Ginger, National Harbor MD
Ginger was part of a series of shoots inside of our own MGM casino and resort, so this was done back to back with some of their other offerings and was very well orchestrated! Reminded me of how well goober corpo operated during their Philly opening compared to years hence after.
9 Pad Thai Gourmet, Washington DC
9 Pad Thai Gourmet was a solid shoot in DC, but it ended up part of a later story where I got a very, very sloppy gal fired from her cushy desk job for completely and utterly scheduling shoots for me arbitrarily or by never notifying me of any changes that the restaurants would request…
Siam Spice, Sterling VA
This was a real gem in the absolute middle of nowhere that somehow netted me a few more gigs in the years to come. Siam Spice had awesome owners and very cozy vibe to pair very, very well with the awesome dishes.
Thai Elephant Wok, Baltimore MD
Awesome shoot at a lovely Thai place downtown Bmore. Name of the game was kitchen vs parking meter and we managed to win! Definitely recommend checking this place out.
Thai Cafe, Springfield VA
Another good shoot this one. Thai places in general don’t really disappoint, or perhaps I haven’t really bumped into a bad one on my journeys just yet.
Quench, Rockville MD
Quench is a creative and modern Thai-American mix restaurant and bar with awesome and creative dishes from both cuisines. Bet you this is the only time you get served a stabbed burger! I highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the Travillah Square area in Rockville, MD. Nice outdoor shoot with plenty…
Tom Yum Thai, Vienna VA
Tom Yum Thai is an awesome Thai restaurant in Vienna, right off of Maple Avenue. Amazing decor and atmosphere, and amazing and authentic dishes make this place a real treat to dine in. Highly recommended! This place had the perfect vibe and I’ve been back to dine many times after the smooth shoot I had…
