... that when Thai chef Bo Songvisava opened Bo.lan, there were very few restaurants in Bangkok serving traditional Thai food? Source: http://content.time.com/time/travel/article/0,31542,1987402,00.html "Bangkok may be one of the hardest places to find real Thai food — at least outside private homes. Posh restaurants and street stalls alike tend to pump out the same standard variations of prepackaged curries, chicken-basil stir-fries and seafood salads drenched in bottled fish sauce. While little on offer is ever bad, little enough is truly great. To the rescue comes Bo.lan."
ALT1:... that Thai chef Bo Songvisava was once asked by a visiting foreign chef about Thai food and realized she knew very little about it? Source: https://www.eater.com/2018/9/28/17910228/chefs-table-bo-songvisava-recap-season-5-episode-3 "A visit from a foreign chef during Songvisava’s time at Cy’an was what sparked her passion for her country’s food. This chef was asking her about Thai cuisine, and she realized she didn’t know anything about it."
Nominated within seven days of creation and meets the length guidelines. Article is neutral, referenced reliably and free of a copyright violation and close paraphrasing. Both hooks are short and correctly cited; my personal preference is for the second hook. A QPQ is needed before it can be passed. MWright96(talk)18:42, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
MWright96, were you leery of counting it because I was the second reviewer? If so, the first reviewer didn't address any DYK review points -- at all -- so my 'second' review was an actual full review. But if you'd prefer, I can use a different review! --valereee (talk) 17:36, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
