Friday’s Last Spoonful: Field Trip

Thai Cafe: Glen Burnie, Md.

The Mixed Stew crew has sampled stuffed Thai chicken wings at this homey restaurant. Thai Cafe is probably 10 minutes from BWI-Marshall Airport and a short drive into Anne Arundel County from either the Howard County or Baltimore County lines. The chicken wings are stuffed with seasoned pork, shrimp, cellophane noodles, and mushrooms. Next, the cook batters and fries the wings to a golden brown. Enjoy this appetizer with the sweet and tangy dipping sauce that accompanies a serving of three pieces ($6.95). Thai Cafe has a candlelit dining room with Asian artwork that’s charming. The restaurant also serves pad Thai, spicy soft shell crab, Thai curries, and pork with Thai basil. Try Thai-iced tea for a refreshing change. But if you prefer something a bit stronger, the restaurant is affiliated with a bar next door and liquor is available.




Helpful Hint: Thai chicken wings can be found at many Thai restaurants. Expect different variations. The Mixed Stew crew has sampled this dish in Los Angeles area restaurants and another Thai restaurant in Columbia, Md.
