Star Thai Tuesday

Star Thai Tuesday is a grand old tradition that began years ago during our employments at a company not-to-be-named.  At said company, working 10+hours in a day was rewarded by free dinner delivered from a list of various local options.  The Star: Thai and Sushi Restaurant was one such option, among other greats including Tandoor (a close second for best Indian in Sarasota) and Baja Iguana (RIP).  Anyways, the duty of choosing the evening's restauarant rotated among the department and every Tuesday, without fail, Taylor chose Star Thai.  The rest is history...

Taylor's plate -- gyoza, miso soup, white rice, spicy tuna roll (sushi), and a dirty martini

I'm sure many of you wonder how we could eat the same meal (yes, the EXACT same meal) once a week, every week, without getting sick of it.  The answer, my friends, is gyoza.
Gyoza (gee-OH-zah): A Japanese crescent-shaped dumpling filled with a minced stuffing and steamed, boiled or fried; the Japanese equivalent of the Chinese "pot sticker."
There is no way to describe the deliciousness of the Star Thai gyoza.  You just have to taste for yourself, but it WILL change your life. So be prepared.

You might also wonder why literally everything we get from Star Thai is Japanese and not Thai, but just go with it...

And so ends our last Star Thai Tuesday (held this week on Monday due to scheduling challenges), and so begins our San Franciscan hunt for the best gyoza!

Countdown to the big move: 7 days!
