Thanks for the advice. I will try to check out Thai-riffic! I realize now that I will be in Fort Worth one day, so that's why I was interested in Junsuree. Also, they have an interesting vegetarian selection. Have you tried this place? www.junsureethai.com

I feel like all of the people who whine about the trans fat ban don't understand exactly how dangerous this substance is. It's SO much more damaging that saturated fat, so I'd sooner eat lard or butter, any day. There is also the common misconception that trans fat makes food taste better. I even heard this repeated on CNN, and I couldn't believe it. Speaking of chefs using trans fats, is there really a way to know if you're eating it in a restaurant? The Daily News reported that this ban only applies to restaurants that provide nutritional information to customers, so that leaves MOST restaurants still able to use trans fats, which is disturbing. I was diagnosed with heart disease at 44, and I have to wonder if I could have avoided it if I hadn't made so many pies with shortening crusts.

I'm going to be in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area for a couple of days and am looking for recommendations for Vietnamese and Thai restaurants. Here are a few I've heard of - please weigh in with your opinions on these, and any other suggestions!

Thanks! Cathy
