Thai Palace
So the choice for lunch... what will it be? When in TN visiting my staff here we normally frequent the same places (all quite boring). This visit I asked if there was a good Thai restaurant.... to which I was received with puzzled looks and then one light bulb going off with "yes! There is one place that just opened - but I've never had Thai food before" Aha! So I gathered a few co-workers and we headed to Thai Palace. Walking in we were all struck with how similar the place looked to a nail salon (minus the pedicure chairs and rows of brightly colored finger nail polish). That's when we probably should have reassessed the situation. Thai in Pigeon Forge TN... what was I thinking?! Overall experience wasn't terrible, but it was definitely more on the side of normal Chinese take-out than Thai. When I asked about brown rice and duck the server (who spoke very little English) just smiled and said "uhm... no". Lesson learned? Don't attempt exotic food choices when in East Tennessee. Stick with TGIFridays. :)
