Best place to get American food in Bangkok

[short 215]

 

I stumbled across this little place called the Tavern at the corner of Soi Nana and Scott Street in Bangkok.

 

What caught my attention initially was the sign indicating you can get chili dogs there.

 

Making American style food is their specialty. Heard some pretty funny stories in there about the filming of Hangover II.

I was in that place one afternoon. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was late and I was hungry. If it's the same place I'm thinking of, they have hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, etc., and there are some Ladyboys working in there. They play country music? I'm not sure it's the best example of "American" food, but if you're in the neighborhood, why not?

For me, the best American restaurant in Bkk, especially if you like Cajun style, is Bourbon Street, now at Ekkamai.

There is a new diner on Sukhumvit Soi 11 about 75% down the soi on the left near Bed and Q, and there is a diner near Sunrise Tacos, on Sukhumvit maybe Soi 14 roughly, past the street to Cabbages and Condoms, which is also a great Thai restaurant if you like Thai.

I like Bourbon Street food and service. It is pretty hard to find fault with the food. Unfortunately it is also quite pricey. I guess it comes down to you get what you pay for.

I'll have to give the new Bourbon Street a whirl next time in BKK.

 

I used to really enjoy their Mexican buffet almost weekly when they were on the Square.

So is 'American food' limited to Hamburgers and Mexican food?

 

WTF do you guys eat that nobody else eats and is classed as 'American food'?

As to no one else eats, perhaps chili dogs--hell, I don't eat them.

 

For something we may have invented or at least disseminated widely, how about barbecue?

[LocalYokul 223]

The stuff Bourbon Street sells would classify as American. Cajun or Creole to be exact.

 

Here's what CNN had to say about it:

Unlike your national dishes that nobody else eats, you mean?

Restaurants come and go. Some start off with good food and for one reason or another the quality goes to hell. Bourbon Street has been very consistent over the years. Of course the old Washington Square days are now gone and Bourbon Street in the Square is gone too. The new location on Ekamai is really not too far out of the way. The quality of the food remains very good but pricey. I don't know where else you can get genuine chicken fried steak. You can even get a very good steak. I don't really care for Mexican food but my friends rave about it. I don't remember ever getting a bad meal there.

 

There are few things more disappointing than remembering a great restaurant, then going back when you are really hungry and finding it has totally gone to hell.

I am struggling to get my head around the idea that 'Apple Pie' is an American dish!

Considering the first recipe was by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1381.

And Christopher Columbus found the place in 1492.

 

 

Puts a whole new meaning to the phrase 'as American as apple pie!'

What do the native American Indians eat? That'll be your true American food.

Except they got there from Asia across the frozen Bering Strait.

 

So maybe noodles and rice is "American" food.

I'm curious to know what uniquely British food is consumed by anyone other than British outside of the UK.

I hate to break it to you, bratpack, but no one eats that food outside of the UK except where there is a large British population of visitors or expats.

I've lived and visited all over Europe and the Americas. The "foreign" food that travels best is, to name a few, French, Italian, Mexican, German, even Irish stew.

Very few places seIl meat pies, pig pudding, oatcakes, or grilled tomato sandwiches.

English food is not popular except among English.

I suspect even the English are learning to appreciate other nations' food now in the more cosmopolitan areas of your country.

Btw, in the USA, when going for Indian food, we eat INDIAN food, not brit influenced stuff. Thanks for the curry tho.

British food,. Even they can't eat it without gobs and gobs of condiments.

Maybe, but was it widely baked and consumed as it is in America?

Apple pie with raisins, figs and pears? I don't think so.

The "American as Apple Pie" phrase was apparently an advertising slogan by the apple lobby.

Don't take it seriously.

You don't have condiments in Canada?
