| - We hit up townhall on a Friday just as they were opening for lunch. They were sort of disorganized when we first arrived, but hey, they'd just opened for the day and I'm always willing to forgive when a restaurant can really deliver on food; and boy oh boy, did they deliver. We started our meal out with an order of sweet potato skins, which were topped with some kind of greens and a sauce. I'd never seen or heard of sweet potato skins, but they were just as amazingly delicious as they sound. Generally, I'm not a fan of any food that's green and healthy, so my first instinct was to scrape them off. If you share my disgust for green and healthy foods, I have a bit of advice for you... STOP! Resist the urge to dispose of the glorified leaves and savor the flavor combination you're about to experience. All the textures and flavors worked together in a really spectacular way, and honestly, it should be a crime to disrupt that. For my entree, I went with the Bangkok bazaar bowl. It had chicken, shrimp, noodle and mixed vegetables in a pad Thai broth. When I first got the bowl, I was Leary of the mixed vegetables, but they were fresh tasting and added a layer of complexity to the dish that you really don't want to miss out on. All in all, I was a little skeptical of townhall at the start, but I'm really glad we went there and we'll definitely be back!
