PROFILES: The Tampa Bay area is a sprawling
metropolis divided by water and bombarded by large corporate chains. The fine
residents of this subtropical center are threatened by cultural apathy.
MISSION: As per orders from headquarters,
we sent our most talented spies, armed only with their exquisite taste and
superb knowledge, to infiltrate the Bay area's cultural hot spots. They were to
report back with a list of the best people, news, cuisine, arts, entertainment,
goods and services--a list that is highly subjective, but, we assure you, most
excellent.
Finally, their top secret reports have become
declassified and available for your enjoyment.

BEST CURRY
Thai-Am No. II
14363 Gulf Blvd.
Madeira Beach (727) 398-9700
Americans are often surprised to discover that curry is
not a spice but rather a complex blend of many spices. Since each cook designs
their own, a restaurant is particularly distinguished by the flavor of its
curry. Diners who savor the flavor of spice have to make a diligent search of
East Indian and Thai restaurants to find the cook who really rings their chimes.
We found ours at Thai-Am No. II, where the bounteous bargain lunch buffet is
often graced with dishes of deep flavor.
