Jo's Modern Thai
Thai
Drunken noodles with smoky barbecue brisket is not what the cookbook intended, and that's precisely the point at this Laurel District Thai restaurant. The kitchen plays fast and loose with tradition, seasoning a pork burger to taste like laab and calibrating heat levels for anyone who thinks "medium" is already pushing it. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, with cocktails that pull their weight alongside the food.
