BRIAN'S 100 Best '17

100 BEST ’17: CURRY PUFFS at KITCHEN 79

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017…

The Thai food scene in Queens continues to heat up and it’s been hard for me to keep up with it since I moved out of the borough. Thankfully, the 7 train will get me there. That’s how I got to try these beautiful little appetizers at Kitchen 79. I usually skip over curry puffs because they tend to be greasy and one note. Not here. They’re also livened up by a side of sweet vinegary cucumber salad.  Price: $5.95
