The local hole-in-the-wall Thai place (aren't those always the best?) by my old office spoiled me for life. Haven't ever found one I like the same way. I liked that they called the spice levels mild, medium, hot and Thai-hot! Some of the guys got into stupid macho hot escalations until their stomachs couldn't take it anymore. It was funny to watch the bald guy's head bead up with sweat, though.
