September 14, 2012. Great Barrington, Mass. Sweet Chili Thai.

The restaurant in Augusta was wonderful. But you needed to know about it.  You certainly wouldn't just stumble upon it when driving down the road, unless you were getting on an airplane.    Sweet Chili Thai is attached to the tiny airport, hidden right at the end of airport Road.    We ate an early dinner, as we had not eaten lunch on the road, but when we arrived, there were already three full tables and when we left at 6:30, the restaurant was almost full.  In addition, a steady number of customers were coming and going taking out carry out dinner.  Clearly, the good people in Augusta know about this fine restaurant.

How does this happen, that a fine restaurant in a small city, is being run by a family from Thailand?  How did they get there?  And how did they manage to run the only restaurant at the airport?    Now there are only two flights a day in and out of this tiny place, but still,  it is unusual for one of two excellent restaurants in Augusta is at the airport?  We were delighted with our dinner, both the food and the service.  Some times you just get lucky.
