I was invited to dinner at Thaiburi this week. While Thaiburi is not a vegan restaurant, they have menu items that are vegan as-is or can be made vegan with modifications. Their menu professes, “We started Thaiburi to be more than just a restaurant. It’s our way of inviting you into our hometown. Every dish tells a story and we’re proud to share the taste of where we come from with every bite.” We ordered a few things to share, and as always, the appetizers were my favorite part.
