"The history in Family Thai — about Patti and Win Myint opening International Market & Restaurant in Nashville in 1975 and their children Arnold and Anna now running a new iteration — reads as an ode to how immigrants remake food culture in the U.S.; the restaurant’s legacy informs Arnold Myint’s approachable, home-cook–minded recipes that highlight overlooked Thai dishes, welcome time-saving substitutions (rather than dogmatic from-scratch methods), and preserve family favorites even when they include convenient modern ingredients." - Bettina Makalintal
