Megalomaniac chef Jean Georges Vongerichten’s Asian Fusion cuisine continues to dominate the New York Restaurant scene. This establishment sees Vongerichten’s oligopoly expand an arm to the trendy meat packing district in a building the size of a barn .The theatrical decor reflects the name: Burlap spice sacks, ceramic pots, and glass jars set in dark-wood cabinets around the dining area playfully re-create the mercantile feel of a traditional Thai shop house. The food is artfully presented, authentically spiced, and extraordinarily delicious, with featured regional specialties for a great way to sample dishes from places you may or may have travelled to or even heard of. House specialties include a tasty Miengkham appetizer of coconut, dried shrimp, nuts, and chilis that you assemble yourself, rolling ingredients in a leaf for a tasty little treat. The menu's "chili rating" guarantees that spices are tempered to your palate and theres a great array of signature cocktails and old favourites available from the chic bar upstairs in case you need to cool down a bit.
