Around the corner from my house,
but on the same block, there is a Japanese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, a Thai family restaurant, and a Western-style sandwich shop. For Cajun AND Creole cooking, we have to walk about 5 blocks.
But in this case, I cooked the chicken at home, as I wanted to try a new recipe.
We eat Thai food 90% of our meals, but those other 10% can be almost anything you can imagine here. The assortment of restaurants seems to be wider than in large metro cities in the US, and this is a very small town! But with so many retired ex-pats, and restaurant meals costing under $5 for a really good 'ethnic' one (I usually pay under a dollar for a Thai dinner in a restaurant) eating is 'big' around here!
