    A few years ago I posted with the details of a restaurant in Bangkok
    that serves BBQ chickens by setting them on fire and catapaulting them
    through the air before they are caught by a waither riding on a
    unicycle.

    Sadly the first two times I went to Thailand I did not make it to the
    restaurant. I am very happy to say that on my most recent trip I not
    only visited the flying chicken restaurant but also got to catch my own
    dinner.

    Have a look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/58488017@N00/sets/1288282/
    and it should bring you to a photo album that contains pics from the
    Flying Chicken Restaurant.

    Cool photos! Do my eyes deceive me or is that helmet designed for
    catching chickens on your forehead!

    This could be a popular joint next year with the 20 or so unicyclists
    on LUT going through Bangkok. I can just imagine the chaos when all of
    them want to have a go at once :-)

    Yeah, what was the address again? Some of us are staying on in Bangkok
    after the ride, and there's also a morning ride planned for those in
    Bangkok before flying out to Chiang Rai

    Have you actually tried Tofurkey? We're considering it this year, but
    have heard mixed reviews. Is it any good?

    I've been considering sending them this for a tagline: Tofurkey, the
    Delicious Faux Turkey. But I don't think they'd go for it. 🙂

    Thanks.

    I'm not a huge fan of faux meats, but if I remember correctly, it was
    pretty good. ...but I might be confusing it with the 'Unturkey'
    (http://www.nowandzen.net/unturkey.html) ...one of them had a fake
    "skin" which I thought was a little unnecessary. While I like "meaty"
    foods (seitan, baked tofu, tempeh..etc) I don't really want them to
    have the texture of animal meat.

    Nice...maybe you have a future in selling Mocholate with Monica.

    Or better yet, how about you and I just get a bottle of Wild Turkey,
    then start matching shot for shot. After each one, we need to say "the
    quirky tofurkey makes a perky faux turkey".

    Which turkey do think will end up the winner?

    I have done a lot of faux marketing in my days. Your tongue twister is
    a sure sign of your brilliance, Tom. I see this scenario as a scene in
    an unfathomable - and possibly pointless - indie film.

    The "crispy soy skin" of the Unturkey did not appeal to my wife and
    child. It'll probably be the Tofurkey.

    Wrong contest...I meant between you, me, and the Wild. 🙂
