And if people know that a great barbecue restaurant is going to take two hours, they will carve out the time for it. <br /><br />What people <i>won't</i> do is visit a place when they don't know if it's going to take ten minutes (which some of my meals at Perdue's did) or it's going to take two hours (ditto).JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37900702.post-55142635763457998062011-06-21T18:08:24.742-07:002011-06-21T18:08:24.742-07:00Love both of them, Ben.

Their food never disappoints.Steve Scauzillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445422397699522097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37900702.post-23161702233950422772011-06-21T07:07:24.875-07:002011-06-21T07:07:24.875-07:00I need to try President Thai.

I feel like that place could have really been great if not for the inconsistent pace and the location.ben widemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010635436712076159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37900702.post-49297839089142495432011-06-20T18:50:53.163-07:002011-06-20T18:50:53.163-07:00I like Saladang too.

Take this with a grain of salt, though: I am in the minority about all Thai places in this town. The ones my friends love, I don't like (like this and City Thai). The ones I prefer (like Cha Da and Chandra) are disliked by most of my friends. <br /><br />BTW Ben, I thought of you today as I drove past the space where Perdue's used to be and saw the official "For Lease" lettering.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.com
