The hardest table to book in Bangkok? Marco Pierre White samples the food at Sorn | Cook & Kin Bites

[@szith]

Average Food Reviewer: The succulent pork belly, sourced from a heritage breed raised on a diet of organic acorns and serenaded by classical music, was a symphony of flavors. Marco: this piggy is very good.

[@s1lentsamurai]

I like how he stated, you respected the pig. I wish activists would understand that. Yes mass farms suck. But look at even pork these days. The quality is so much better now, you can make a medium rare pork steak or chop without cooking it to all hell. chefs don't want that meat either. I don't want to eat that meat. I like where foods going.

[@alexadey3413]

@garbygarb31 well according to Michelin info certainly award winning chefs do age duck and I think it's a way of preserving. The five spice is genuine and sealing the duck with boiling water helps in the process. Honestly I have enjoyed duck, usually Indian runners as a dish in S E Asia and it's often quite tough so the technique used on the programme would help increase flavour and that is the point.

[@markverhoeven4114]

A truthful food reviewer tbh... and he know's Thai food is Thai food. There is only so much the original recipes can do, and that is the double, yet beautiful edge to the sword. Thai food is unpretentious, and for the most part, the original recipes are made by and for poor people. Even the Royal cuisine is prepared by poor people as the class system is so strong here in Thailand. That's not to say it is not a special cuisine, but all of the food you saw at that table, a local grandma and aunt is making it somewhere in Thailand without the overpriced restaurant setting and professional equipment to better shoulder the traditional cooking gear. SORN is delicious, but in the end... it is Thai food, but it is the best version of Thai food. A certain place to note and visit, but not a daily take on whats to offer, nor a place that locals will frequent because hey... their mums massaman maybe taste subjectively better! Anyone saying else so, has not lived here, and is stuck in their western tourist mentality of the Kingdom.
