March 19, 2017. Madison, Mississippi. Surin of Thailand.

The parking lot was empty when we arrived at 11:10.  Ken said that the place must not be open, but he was wrong.   Before we could open the door three other cars drove up.  When we walked into the restaurant the waiters greeted us enthusiastically.  They had opened at 11 and so far we were the first patrons.  But by the time we left,  the place was almost full.  Christina and the girls pulled in while we were just entering so we were all set for our Sunday Brunch.  Mary Frances was missing.  Four wisdom teeth were removed on Thursday and she was not yet up to dining.

Jackson is just a couple hours drive north of New Orleans, where even the greasy spoon cafes are good.  The food in New Orleans is just better than anywhere else.  Perhaps it is the competition.  The next thing I know is that the flavor of New Orleans food has influenced the restaurants in Jackson.  The food is good.  We have eaten in many Thai restaurants in the world and the Surin of Thailand has great food.  The soup is so good that even though they give you a cup of soup with your meal, Kate orders a full bowl of the same soup for her main course.  And she takes half home to take back to College when she returns today.

Our Sunday Brunch tradition is wonderful.  We enjoy good food and pleasant conversation with the family.  The food at Surin was extra good.  Or perhaps we just enjoyed our family more than usual.  Or perhaps the beautiful weather made us mellow.  No matter, we had a good time at Surin of Thailand.
