So why do people think Sweet Basil is amazing??

So the wife and I went out for some grocery shoppin today as we had no food in the house due to a trip to macon this past weekend to see the in laws. So we stopped at Sweet Basil a restaurant so many of our friends seem to be gaga over.

Frankly, don't see what the big deal is...

It actually just tasted like chinese food. I got something spicey with chicken and rice and basil and wifey got something with chicken and pineapple and both were alright but not worth 10 bucks a plate. I mean the quality was there but it wasn't anything better than china moon as far as taste goes.

I will concede that the spring roll thingy's were pretty dang good but everything else was just mediocre. Good atmosphere though.

It was also my first foray into Tai food and frankly I can't tell much difference. ANd what's with everything having curry in it? I thought that was like an Indian thing?? Wife and I are not big fans of the Curry, its generally over used in Indian cookin in my opinion. A little curry goes a long way, granted some might say the same with our cooking and garlic. We tend to douse anything and everything in garlic.

So in the end I just didn't see what the big deal was.
