In this episode:
- How Nick’s Thai family traditions shape Indo’s contemporary Asian fine dining
- What to expect from Sado’s sushi program (and why balance beats bravado at the bar)
- Pavilion’s ambitious two-hour, 18-course omakase experience
- Signature dishes: Indo’s palm sugar ribs + Sado’s grilled short rib yakitori
