This isn't a shocking story but it was fun. My buddy and my girlfriend were sitting at a $5 blackjack table. I went to sit in the open seat but casino staff stopped me, said the seat was reserved. At a $5 table? A few min later they usher a relaxed looking gray haired dude in a t shirt and jeans to the table. He sits down and buys fucking $10k of chips and begins to bet the max each hand. Everyone at the table was loving it. He was kinda rowdy, celebrating all the wins, rubbing his nips through his t shirt a few times to celebrate, etc. We asked him why he was there and he said most people at the high roller tables don't know how to enjoy the game.

Have you tried Aroma nearby in Franklin Park? I can't do the old Pad Thai/Thai Basil/Green Curry rotation that my fellow locals seem to like. Aroma does a lot of different stuff, seems like I'm getting something new that I love each time, but I go infrequently enough that I can't fully rule out that it's the same dish and I'm just forgetting it in between visits. Seriously though, menu does seem a lot more varied than other places in NJ.

A lot of the ethnic food near Princeton is Indian, but even at that, I'm not sure there's a standout place - it's just reached pizza-like status that everything's at least acceptable if they're staying in business.

Which place in Philly?

Not an expert and it was only one spot but I went to a Thai place in Carlsbad a few years ago and would put it in the middle of the pack of the places I've been in NJ.

Lotus of Siam in Vegas is still my favorite (feels like naming The Beatles my favorite band) and I know they started out in LA
