   Since the last time I was actually in Thailand (May 2012), I kind of fell of the wagon in regards to my pursuit of quality authentic Thai food. Needless to say, I have since become re-acclaimated with it in the form of this restaurant. Orchid's professional, polite service is matched only by the skill of the chefs, creating some of the richest-tasting dishes you'd ever have the pleasure of partaking in.


The Chef Recommends...

Thai Fish Cakes - $7.00

Red Curry Kingfish cakes with chilled cucumber relish. Especially a nice touch to start the meal.

Bangkok Salmon - $23.00

At 8 oz., you're paying more for the quality than the quantity. This dish is slow-cooked to the point that salmon falls apart in sections. With a blend of citrus and Thai spices, the fish practically melts in your mouth. The Thai Iced Tea would be a perfect accompaniment to the meal.

Let's Kick This Off Right


Boa tarde!

My name is Rion Paige, and you’ve stumble upon the doorway to a world of cuisine that may have not known existed. After spending six years traveling around the planet, tasting some of the richest and, at times, most bizarre food imaginable, I can finally share my knowledge and experiences with all of you. Edible Thought will encompass everything food! From African Couscous to Japanese sushi to the Rodizio-style barbeque of Brazil, all customs and cooking methods will be covered in this forum. We will explore the influences behind Tandori-style clay pot cooking, the ever-hearty Italian dishes, even how to counter the overwhelming spice of Thailand! I hope to have something for everyone on Edible Thought, whether you're an experienced chef or an aspiring connoisseur of fine dining. However, for that to be reality, I need to hear from the public. Post your stories, recipes, or tips here. Trade them with your friends. Leave a review about your latest dinner outing. I encourage you to always have an open mind about food. “Being cultured isn’t about liking everything you try. It’s about trying everything to see what you like.” – Michael Paige (my dad)




That being said, Welcome to Edible Thought! You hungry?
