Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Who runs Thai restaurants?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Who runs Thai restaurants?),it will help you,my kids.
I am just curious because after Chinese, Thai food is very common and well known, but the problem is that I see Thai restaurants all around but not a lot of Thai people.
I know that in America, the Chinese are the most dominant Asian group (by numbers) followed by Filippinos, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, Hmong, Cambodian, Laotian, and lastly Thai.
There aren't many Thais in the U.S., unless you mainly go to L.A., so who are the ones running the Thai restaurants?
When I go to a Thai restaurant sometimes I will hear the cooks and they are Thai or Lao, but then sometimes I go to some places and when they would talk in "Thai" it sounds really off or sometimes they're not speaking Thai at all!
I don't think the White Americans would care none the less or are too ignorant to know that what they are eating is sometimes not TRUE authentic Thai food!
This is also why I hate eating at many Thai restaurants, because the food isn't good and a lot of the food has been altered.
Answer:
BY the name or dialects- you cant judge they were Thais,they could be, other Asian Ethnic groups -who pose as Thai"s. As for the Thais, they are self sufficient at home,they were not keen to venture out,unlike other asians who have desire to make more money,regardless the costs,wheres they not able of doing so in their own country.where life is hard.
the owners of the restaurant
Just because the owners & cooks does not literally speak Thai does not mean they don't know the food. About 1/2 the Thai restaurants in Michigan are owned by other nationalities, such as Laotians, Cambodians, and Hmong.
This is unrelated to what you are saying, but In a way, it sounds like you are saying that since my ethnicity is Hmong and although I was born in Thailand and lived there for a couple of years, I won't understand the cultural background and food of that country?
Back to the subject at hand... before any person decide to open up their restuarant, they actually pay an authentic Thai chef, or someone who has cooked the food for their whole life in the restaurant, to learn the cooking process and the ingredients. The same goes for anyone who is interested in opening up a restuarant with Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese food.
The only alterations you will ever find in any Asian restuarants are the dishes with food colorings. I have plenty of authentic Asian cookbook and all I know is that there are no food colorings required on the ingredients list. But becuase of my sister's experience with multiple ethnic restaurants, she says they put food colorings in food for the look appeal. MSG in food is not an alteration. It's an optional ingredients that some restuarants prefers to put in their food and other restuarant don't. Sometimes, some food without MSG may not taste so good as those with it.
There are plenty of good Thai dishes that I guess you may have not tried--or maybe those restaurant you have ate at just have bad cooks.
If you really want a feel of authentic Thai food, find a restuarant or Asian store (maybe) that actually makes Papaya Salad (aka Tom Sum). This type of salad cannot be made with alterations--you can't replace any one ingredients with another. I ate it since the age of 2 in Thailand and still is eating it today.
All the food may be made with the same ingredients, but it will definitely taste differently because the cook is not the same person.
It's funny when I think about it. I've seen cooks at Panda Express, a Chinese food franchise, and they are not Chinese. Besides, Chinese food you find in America are all Fake-Chinese food. It was discovered in America... Just because you see a caucasian or latino cooking Chinese food, are you to automatically assume that they altered the recipe?
My favorite restaurant in my city is the Thai House. Everyone there is Thai.
