"Corkage fee: $5 Enjoying a massive bowl of funky, crunchy nam khao with an off-dry riesling conjures up the same feeling as an unexpected penthouse upgrade: unexpected yet correct. You can cling to that feeling at Sao Lao Thai Cafe on the Northside with whatever wine you like for only $5. This tiny restaurant serves some of the best Thai-Lao food in the city, and its all-day hours on Saturday make it a great place to go for a midday savory brunch with a few close friends. Because nothing says brunch like BYOB and sour Thai sausage." - chelsea thomas
