Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
The panang curry comes in a square bowl, a deep orange sauce with tender beef and red pepper, beside a round mound of rice. The pad thai, posted just before it, is a tangle of noodles with chives.
Both captions end in food coma, which is the only verdict Roger left — and a clear one. This is a neighborhood Thai dinner in PB, the kind of place that fills a regular weeknight rather than a special occasion.
The quick critique
What stood out
- Beef panang curry
- Pad thai with chives
- A two-dish food-coma dinner
Bottom line
Archive verdict
A satisfying Pacific Beach Thai dinner that ended, by Roger’s account, in a food coma.
