First Visit to the Thai Cafe

After deciding to start this blog, but before I got around to writing an intro post, I made my first visit to the venerable Thai Cafe. The Thai Cafe is known for selling $6 entrees (cash only!) out of a window overlooking a courtyard in the Main Quad, over by Jordan Hall and the math/computer science library.

I'd heard that the lines here tend to be long, but there was no wait when I showed up just before 11:30 on a Thursday afternoon. I got a very good vegetarian curry with potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots:

With the rice, it was a ton of food, far more than I could eat, and at $6 it is easily one of the best lunch values on campus. I found the curry a little on the spicy side, but I am a notorious wuss when it comes to spice; I'm sure a normal person would consider it mild.

I'll probably add the Thai Cafe to my regular lunch rotation, at least on days when I have cash with me. Which is admittedly not all that often.
