02 — How to eat it

No forks.
No rules. One rule.

  1. Pick your meat

    Brisket, jerky, wings, or the combo tray with all three.

  2. Grab a basket

    Sticky rice comes in a woven tip khao. Keep the lid on so it stays warm.

  3. Roll & press

    Pinch off a bite, roll it into a ball with your fingers, press a thumb-dent in it.

  4. Dip. Repeat.

    Scoop meat, drag through jaew, eat. The one rule: never double-dip someone else's sauce.

03 — Our story

Two kitchens.
One table.

We grew up on two kinds of Sunday: Mom's sticky rice steaming in the kitchen, and a smoker ticking away out back. At some point somebody dipped brisket in jaew bong, and that was it.

Sticky Rice & Beef Jerky cooks both at full volume. Not fusion for the sake of it. Lao recipes from home, Texas fire from the yard, nothing watered down.
