I once had a friend ask me if gay people had a certain affinity for Thai food, seeing as there were as many of the eateries in the Hillcrest area, as there was a Starbucks for coffee drinkers. I didn’t really give the matter too much thought and couldn’t come up with a concrete answer; chalking it up to my own pedestrian ways of ordering Pad Thai with either shrimp or chicken, every single time I went out to eat at any one of the establishments. Now, after my two-day and eight-course schooling on all things Thai food- related, courtesy of Lotus Thai owner Ton Sangkapong, I could now say with an air of authority that sometimes dining out can be somewhat of a culinary life altering experience.
