Thai Food Aficionado Outed
Wednesday 24 September 2008 by Dr Maytel
He may by all appearances to be obsessed with Thai food, however Austin Bush, of Real Thai fame (now Austin Bush Photography Food Blog) and a close pal of David Thompson secretly whips up Italian comfort food at home just like the rest of us.
I know he just sent me photos of his dinner.
Swiss Chard Frittata
Grilled Eggplant Pasta
Austin says "The chard fritatta was actually really nice. The pasta simple, but good too. I think I'm going to make just about everything in that Bittman piece soon."
This from a man that stares at me blankly when I say I can't eat Thai food for every meal. It does look yummy though

OK, you got me... But the risk of sounding pedantic, I'd hesitate calling this comfort food, at least in my case, as I never even set eyes on this sort of stuff until I was in university and working part time at an upscale Italian restaurant in Eugene, Oregon.
Comfort food for me now would inevitably mean something with lots of chili... But if I think back to growing up, I reckon it would have to be Tex/Mex-style food, such as the tamales my dad and I make when I go home. Mmmm...
yeah yeah, chili is your comfort food, mine is vegemite on toast or chinese rice porridge...bland and salty mmmm
I am the latest unfortunate victim of the sore throat/ cough thing. Hock's is almost over. Bums
