Thai Pepper is a great place to turn people on to Thai cuisine. Especially at the lunch buffet which has a lot of vegan options to go along with all the standard Thai fare. Pad thai, lemongrass soup, fried rice and spring rolls, coconut soup–it’s really extensive and well prepared. Here’s a look at the buffet, and some plates I was able to put together for a fantastic lunch.
I know it’s really hard sometimes to get meat and potatoes folks to leave their lane, but I’ve found that if they think they are getting a lot of bang for their buck, they are much more eager to try new things. They worry that elitists foods are not filling and are just an attempt to take advantage of them, and they don’t like trying foods they didn’t grow up with, but Thai Pepper welcomes everyone with fresh, well prepped dishes that can help get anyone out of their rut. Opening minds is the first step to opening hearts. Everyone will find something they like at Thai Pepper. Point them towards the fried rice and the lemongrass or coconut soup to get them started down the right path.
