Elephant Jumps<\/strong>, web site<\/a>, Thai food in Merrifield, 8110 A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA<\/a>, 22042, 703-942-6600, in the Yorktowne Center, more on Gallows than Route 50. (Metro Trip Planner<\/a> – opens in new window) [Don Rockwell<\/a> | Yelp<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Update June 30, 2013<\/em><\/strong>: This place is is getting better and better, new review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Home-style Thai food, with four levels of spicy, culminating in “Thai spicy.” It’s not as good as Thai X-ing<\/a>, but it’s probably better than any other local Thai competitor. They will watch you sweat and they will giggle.<\/p>\n

Here is one good review of the restaurant<\/a>. Here is a short bit on how elephants were viewed in antiquity<\/a>. Here is my favorite book on elephants<\/a>. <\/p>\n

After we exchanged impressions of the other local Thai restaurants, the proprietor said to me: “You know a lot about food and you get around — you should be a food critic. You could write up what you think about all these places!”<\/p>\n

If we’re not going to have much more economic growth, we can at least have a few locales like this. <\/p>\n
