"Typically available only as a prix fixe tasting menu, chef Johnny Monis’s chile-packed Northern Thai menu comes a la carte for carryout. From Tuesday through Saturday, customers can schedule pickups online from the basement restaurant in Dupont. The menu has grown from a few options to a page-long list that includes “hammered” beef with tomato-tamarind jeow sauce, Thai fried chicken, and crispy rice salad. Next-door, Mediterranean fine-dining destination Komi has turned into a vegetarian diner pop-up called Happy Gyro." - Gabe Hiatt
