ThaiPop
Owner, Annie Balow recalls her first memory of cooking as watching he mother prepare food early in the morning for the monks at the local temple. Her mother and aunt also made big meals for the people of their village during times of celebration. Annie loved watching; watching to learn, but most of all observing how happy it made her mother to cook for others. When's Annie's mom passed, she learned everything she could from her aunt, including her mother's favorite recipe: stir fry crispy frog. To this day, it is without fail the meal that Annie's father requests when she visits Thailand.
ThaiPop started as a pop-up restaurant, but it has since changed in scale, scope, and location. However, it doesn't stop there. While still following the expression of Annie's passion for cooking and community, the menu has been updated as well. She is overjoyed to have found a permanent home where she can welcome the ever-growing ThaiPop community in a full service restaurant.
