Comments on Youngest Cuisine in America

I don't know anything about the relative ages of cuisines, but Lemongrass is incredibly delicious for vegetarians and everyone else, and you should eat there soon.

Agreed. Go there now Jen (and yes, they *serve alcohol*.)

it's because the "Sexiest Cuisine" is already taken by Mexican Food!

I'll second Schmader on the deliciousness of the Lemongrass vegi options. All of my food was incredibly young there.

Yes, but which is the horn-rimmed glasses of Seattle cuisine?

Thanks for the tips about Lemongrass- I live close to there so I'll have to check it out. Is it Veg only though?

Also, will you guys please send someone to check out the new "Sake Bistro" where Osteria la Spiga used to be? I'm curious if it's any good or not, but I can't even tell what the name is from their poor signage, so I'm a little worried. Seems like it may be doomed...

don't get the banana pancake thing at Lemmongrass - it is oily and odd.

Everything else was good including a salad with papayas I think.

I bet the sandwich board is a mis-translation and was meant to say something like "the freshest cuisine".

Is that to imply that Vietnamese is the most newly popular cuisine in America?

As much as I like Vietnamese food, I gotta dissagree.

Actually, as ethnic cuisines go, Vietnamese does seem pretty new. I sure hadn't seen or heard of Pho two years ago, and with a Filipino father, we grew up eating every sort of Asian cuisine there was.

Geez, Than Brothers have been serving pho on Aurora for more than a decade. Not to mention all the places in Little Saigon, which was definitely being called that ten years ago.

lemongrass is the best pho for.... three blocks. as it is the only pho for three blocks. than bros is best volume and quality for your buck, though pho cyclo is my favorite in terms of taste on cap hill. saigon pearl is ok but small portions.

but if you want pho, just go to the idistrict of any of those places on rainier (I forget the name, but the one across from the animal hospital is tasty). best name has to go to what-the-pho? on the east side. it's teh cool

Well, Seattle is a very diverse place in terms of cuisine.

Anywhere else in the country besides the major metropoli, good luck find *a* pho place, let alone several.

Remember, there's a lot of America besides just Seattle, at least last I checked.

Youngest, newest, freshest, whatever. Just eat there already. I wouldn't waste too much time thinking about signage.

Actually, for best name, I'd have to go with Phuket Thai Cuisine in LQA.

I understand obscenity laws but if only they could advertise. "Don't know where to go for dinner? PHUKET!"

someone shouold open a vietnamese buffet and name it:

"go pho yourself"

I believe it is pronounced "Pu-ket"

the silent h is silent.er.

I can't help it, I'm picturing jars of Gerber Baby Pho now.
