"Do not, under any circumstance, order a five for heat. The kitchen is no joke when it comes to turning up the BTUs, even for chile fiends. Secret Thai is a funky spot in Chalmette — how about that daycare decor? But the fiery stir fries and curries have a loyal following. They close for dinner at 8:30 p.m. — as in, don’t walk in at 8:15 and expect to be served. And leave plenty of time for takeout orders to be ready." - Beth D'Addono
