One fancy feast
Life, Adam Kohut, Published on 03/12/2015
» I love food, and I live in Bangkok, and I am young and hip. And my daddy is rich. So I'm going to open a hip restaurant in Bangkok for young people with my rich daddy's money. Now, you must possess passion. Luckily, passion I have in droves! If I were a plant, my friends tell me, I'd be a passion fruit tree. Imagine that! That's how much I love food! I might even venture as far as to call myself a highfalutin gourmandiser.

Greased up, ready for action
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 04/12/2015
» Continuing with Guru’s unofficial “Grab & Go delivery series” (i.e. “In which the publication’s writers are too lazy to leave the office and/or their respective homes”), we this week bring you the delivery services of John’s Shophouse Deli, the brick-and-mortar storefront of which is located on Sukhumvit Soi 77, directly across the street from The Base Sukhumvit 77 apartment complex.

The secret's out
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 11/12/2015
» Enter a shophouse on the alley-like Soi Chokdee, and you will find what initially appears to be a doorway leading into the first floor of a personal home. There is a small sofa, a flat-screen television and a long dining table, the darkened wood of which is somewhat medieval in appearance. A small cocktail cabinet holds a wicker basket filled with complimentary soft drinks and bottled water. The atmosphere is that of a particularly homey speakeasy — secretive, cosy, inviting, sophisticated but not overly formal. Through a partial glass door one can observe the kitchen, where the largely self-taught chef Mor, who lives upstairs, prepares a set menu that changes monthly, depending on ingredients, for a single nightly party of six to eight people, whom must book at least four days in advance. Welcome to Storehouse Dining.

Meat love you long time
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 06/11/2015
» A converted shipping container on Charoen Rat Road marks the kerbside location of Butcher Beef & Beer, an approximately one-month-old cook-it-yourself restaurant focusing on, you got it, beef and beer. Diners, who at the time of our visit were predominantly young and good-looking, sit on wooden stools and tables, which can be moved in- or outdoors, depending on the weather. At each table is a portable gas cooker, on which various cuts of beef, chicken, pork and seafood are prepared. The atmosphere is intimate, but not formal, a locale perfect for a start -- or an end -- to a night out. An indie-rock soundtrack will back your meal here, further adding to the hipster vibe.

Italics straightens up
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 13/11/2015
» A few months ago Guru reviewed Italics, a kind-of Italian restaurant built upon the foundation of an odd-yet-fun menu that focused as heavily on concept as food. We believed it then (and still do) to be a hidden gem, obfuscated only by an ever-so-slightly out of the way location (i.e. not directly in line with the flow of Sukhumvit traffic).

A brush with artistic greatness
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 13/11/2015
» It is Saturday afternoon and, as can be expected, I am riding about a six (out of 10) on the grouchy scale. My girlfriend, Tessa, also her usual self, is happy enough to blanch the gloom from much of the Northern hemisphere. We have signed up to take an art class offered by our hotel, a sleek little outfit in Chiang Mai called the Akyra Manor.

A house of meat, a carnivore's palace
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 16/10/2015
» You won’t find much in terms of setting at El Toro House of Meat. Situated on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 29, the glass-fronted restaurant-butcher is a small place, looking out onto the lurching creep of heavy traffic, with enough seating room for only a handful of diners. Standing guard at the entrance is a display counter of fresh cuts of beef, pork and lamb for sale, some imported from countries such as Argentina, Australia and New Zealand, others from Grand Beef Farm near Phitsanulok, where the restaurants’ co-owners, Jacob Schenhav and Jair Da Rosa (who serves as El Toro’s chef), raise Wagyu cattle.

Playing for team farang?
Life, Adam Kohut, Published on 03/11/2015
» One summer when I was young, my mother, my younger brother Clay and I piled into the family Chevrolet Blazer -- a tan-coloured vehicle we had inexplicably named Sparky -- to make the eight-hour trip south, from Fort Worth to Kingsville, Texas, where my grandparents lived (and still do) in a stately white house that as far as I can tell has stood there since the dawn of time.

Beast mode
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 06/11/2015
» For the last year, visitors to and citizens of Chiang Mai have been drawn toward the canary-yellow paint of Beast Burger's food truck, eager to order from a simple three-item menu that delivers exactly what is promised: forces of nature.

Look what the blue cat dragged in
Guru, Adam Kohut, Published on 04/09/2015
» It is Monday, early afternoon, I am slightly more hung-over than I care to admit, and large, plastic models of a blue Japanese cat have me surrounded. The cat, whose name is Doraemon, is a robot from the future. I think.
