Street food for Thai New Year?

Hello,

Does anyone know where one can go for street food for Thai New Year?

Erik M. told me that he saw banana roti being sold by street food vendors at Wat Dhammaram at 7059 West 75TH St.

Thanks in advance for any advice on Thai street food in Chicago!

I said no such thing.

No?

You sent me an email last November:

"I have only had freshly-made ones at the New Year's Festival (Songkran) at Wat Dhammaram, on 75th.

I mean, a couple of restaurants have improvised them at my request, but they started with commercially available roti each time.

I want to know the secret of the roti!

OK, russ, my apologies. I did not initially recall that exchange.

In any event, posting an excerpt of a private exchange like that is rather poor form.

To be perfectly clear: Wat Dhammaram, and Songkran festivities, in particular, are not things that I am willing to discuss publicly.

No hard feelings.
