A Tale of Two Thai’s: Eater 38’s Tac Quick, and Indie Cafe

Recently we’ve been to two extremely different Thai restaurants.  One is our neighborhood place here in Wrigleyville, Tac Quick (Eater 38), and the other is up in Edgewater, Indie Cafe.  Both are very good but very different dining experiences.  At one you’ll find some unique, authentic Thai dishes, the other is more mainstream.  Oh andContinue reading “A Tale of Two Thai’s: Eater 38’s Tac Quick, and Indie Cafe”
