"James Beard Award-winning chef Benchawan Jabthong Painter and Graham Painter, the duo behind this Bib Gourmand restaurant, unleash “unapologetic” Thai dishes in their dream location in the Plant in Second Ward. Expect Chef G’s classics like her massaman curry and the shrimp pad thai on the all-day menu, plus special features like the truffle durian crab curry over forbidden black sticky rice at dinner and newer dishes exclusively from Chef G’s home region in Northern Thailand. Street to Kitchen also features an expanded list of “bougie” cocktails at its neon-lit bar, with boozy frozen Thai iced teas and Toki highballs on tap, plus Graham’s hand-picked wine selection, which includes some funky natural wine perfect for pairing with spicy dishes. Know before you go: Chef G doesn’t change her spice levels for anyone — not even Madonna, so be prepared to suck it up. If spice is a worry, be sure to ask about the heat profile of dishes before ordering." - Brittany Britto Garley
