Threesday: How globalized Shanghai remains Chinese
In place of the usual scoops and updates on the happenings around Shanghai's restaurant scene that make up his weekly "New and Noted" column, this week SH Magazine food eminence Christopher St. Cavish gives us a tale of revenge and betrayal with two embattled Thai restaurant owners as the players. Though the issue isn't on stands yet, it's already up here on the SH website. St. Cavish gave us a follow-up via email that we won't include here. Suffice it to say that he doesn't see through their recent claims of truce, especially since one side is still flaunting its financial advantage over the other in a fight that leaves us still planning on Coconut Paradise for our next Thai food fix.
Thanks for the story and the chuckle, Chris.

Scary, but that is a Shanghai classic.
Chef thinks he can cook (sometimes just because he can follow a recipe), if he can cook he thinks he can do business, makes out on his own and rather sooner than later falls flat on his belly.
Among all the copies originality fades and the quality goes down the toilet.
Shanghai foodies have less and less places to go to, as everything is turned into mediocre junk food, only cheap it is.
Who suffers: The discerning customer.
my decision to only ever go to Thai House looks smarter every time I read about the competition.
