"Ugly Baby, the beloved Thai spot, is no more. The closest substitute is Hungry Thirsty, which was opened by a few alumni in the same Carroll Gardens space. Like its predecessor, this place worth seeking out for fiery, flavor-packed Thai food. Order the “brutally spicy” kua kling short rib in a Southern curry paste, and follow that up with the stir-fried mix of squid and shrimp enriched by a salted duck egg yolk." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
