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.
Lamoon Thai, Silver Spring MD
Lamoon Thai is a nice little hidden gem right by the downtown SIlver Spring Safeway, and the food here is awesome! The shoot went well aside from the typical parking situations in this area. This was also of the few places that presented more interesting Thai dishes than the usual pad Thai, drunken noodle, and…
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…
Som Tam, Union Market DC
Union Market as a whole is one of the better cafeteria and market style eateries and local retail spaces in the entire town of DC, and Som Tam was a very lovely little spot to shoot back before the ‘rona hit. It’s a cozy stand, for the lack of a better word, with about 5…
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!…
The Continental, Philadelphia PA
The Continental was one of my very, very first food shoots and this was a last-minute, corpo wanting me to run there sort of ordeal that day, but it only got better when they didn’t specify which of the two locations they wanted me to go to since I naturally arrived and wrestled with parking…
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…
Asian Spice Cafe, Ashburn VA – Another Hidden Gem
Asian Spice Cafe is a lovely fusion place of Thai, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine and they do it all very well! The drinks are also very reasonably priced, so it’s a solid experience to come and dine here with plenty of variety to choose from!
Cafe Opera, Broadlands Ashburn VA
Cafe Opera was a helluva shoot since it happened during a pretty solid sleet day and I did not have my winter tires equipped on my office. The journey got even better when I got to the unplowed local streets and got stuck pretty nicely – always bring at least a shovel with you during…
Class 520, Rockville and College Park MD
Had the pleasure of shooting both Class 520 stores and both were excellent combo of Thai rolled ice cream that I had first encountered in Philly, and bubble tea with the trendy light bulb bottles of the time.
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…
Kisso Asian Bistro, Alexandria VA
Kisso was an excellent little spot in downtown Alexandria and the second asian bistro I’ve seen do the whole ice sculpture pizazz with their sushi plates.
