@skinnylatte A problem for me—extremely white guy—is that I sometimes can’t even get what a restaurant considers hot. And I totally get that they deal with way too many gringos who go for 10 on the spice scale to look badass, then complain and send it back. But it’s a drag when they override my order and send something with zero heat.
(Question since you later mentioned Thai in LA. Have you been to Sapp Coffee Shop and—if so—what did you think?)
