This years's Taste of Eau Claire Festival at Phoenix Park was, by all measures, a success. The Leader-Telegram, WQOW, and WEAU all pointed out that attendance was up, the food was good, and the weather was beautiful.

The charity that benefits from this annual event--United Way of Greater Eau Claire--was surely happy with the outcome. So too, I'm sure, were the other event sponsors, which included Volume One and WHYS 96.3 FM--Eau Claire Community Radio.

However, I walked away from the 2nd annual Taste of Eau Claire not COMPLETELY satisfied. Take a quick look at the 30 Vendors that had booths this year and tell me what is missing:

Since I have been back in America, I have eaten at Pad Thai Restaurant 3 times. Pad Thai is located at 203 North Barstow Street in downtown Eau Claire--across from Phoenix Park. I have also been sampling a variety of other Asian food places since I have been back. However, I can say--without any doubts-- that Pad Thai has the best and most authentic Thai food in the area. Dishes are very reasonably priced and the portions are hearty. If you are ever in downtown Eau Claire and have a hankering for some Asian food, be sure to check out Pad Thai--you might run into me. :P

Food - everyone's favorite topic. Talk amongst yourselves.
