Just as I feared
So, for those of you who don't already know, my favorite Thai Restaurant in San Francisco closed its doors on March 1 of this year. I actually didn't even find out until a few weeks after they were closed because I had not eaten there for some time. When I saw they had closed, I just knew that it was my fault. From November through January, I ate at Thai Spice at least twice a week. But around February time, I stopped going, though for no particular reason. So when they closed, I knew it was because they had lost me as a patron and could no longer afford to remain open. My mom keeps trying to tell me this isn't true, but the other day I sent an e-mail to the Thai Spice people (their e-mail address was posted on their website), telling them how much I missed their establishment. I received an e-mail back from them within a day explaining that they had to close because I stopped going to eat there. When the lease ended and it came time to renew, they decided that because I hadn't eaten there is over a month, they would not be able to afford to remain open. I knew that was the reason.
Anyway, now I'm left with a hole in my heart where Thai Spice used to be. But there is a new Thai place open in the same space - called Thai Chef. They serve some of the same things, but it will never be as good, I know. Never be as good.
