Finally, get Duangrat's delivered!

One of the keys to Duangrat's longevity is that we are decidedly "old school" and believe in the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!  But don't get us wrong; we do continually strive to maintain, improve and add value for our customers.  

After long and careful consideration, we have decided to partner with Grub Hub, a third-party delivery service.  We chose Grub Hub as it is also a pioneer in its industry.  Started in 2004, it was the first online delivery service of its kind and is very well established.  

Furthermore, Grub Hub is the only restaurant delivery service that is partnered with Amazon Prime, which means that if you are an Amazon Prime member, you also get Grub Hub+ free for a year (an enhanced service tier that is otherwise a paid membership). 

If you are an Amazon Prime member, click here for more info and to link Grub Hub+ service:  https://www.amazon.com/prime/offer/grubhub/prime-deal

Note that anyone can use Grub Hub, even if you are not an Amazon Prime member.  Simply click on the DELIVERY tab and you will be prompted to register with Grub Hub if you are a first-time user, to complete your order.  

For the sake of transparency, Grub Hub does charge a small fee for the convenience of its delivery service.  There is also a modest mark-up of the menu price (~10%) to partially offset the commission Grub Hub charges the restaurant.

 “One Night in Bangkok” is a fun, casual, whimsical and immersive Thai dining experience.  The café's retro vibe is a throwback to my vivid recollections of the sights, sounds, smells and flavors of Thai street food, night markets and nightlife as seen thru the lens of my teenage-self for the first time, in the '80's.  This coming-of-age moment left a life-long lasting impression on me.  I can't wait to transport you back to Thailand with me and share "One Night in Bangkok"!

Cheers,

Eddie Duangrat

COMING SOON EARLY AUGUST 2023!

After an extraordinary 40+ year run of our beloved Duangrat’s Market and Rabieng Restaurant around the corner, the Duangrat family has decided to consolidate those two businesses into one unified, streamlined concept that pays homage to the best of both.  With the closing of one chapter, begins the next ….

 

As a Generation X’er, the 80’s were my formative years as a young adult.  One of my fondest adolescent memories was a high school graduation trip to my parents’ hometown of Bangkok, Thailand.  Fast forward to present day; this trip in the Summer of ’89 serves as the inspiration and theme of my newest concept.

Summertime, soft-shells and other seafood musings!

Hi friends!  It's Summertime finally (did we have a Spring?!) and that means it's soft-shell crab season.  Soft crabs are not their own breed, they're simply blue crabs caught in transition- when the crab has outgrown and shed its exoskeleton, but before its newly formed shell becomes hard again.  

For the 30 years we've been in business, we've sourced our soft crabs from the same local, family-owned supplier in Easton, MD- Baxter Soft Crabs.  The Baxter family is the best source for soft crabs in the mid-Atlantic, it is exclusively their bread & butter!  Thanks to our decades long relationship, we get the season's first catch and cream of the crop!

We serve our "jumbo" soft crabs battered with Japanese Panko bread crumbs, served hot & crisp and topped with your choice of one signature sauce:  Chili Basil, Bhram peanut curry, Five-Spice, Sweet & Sour.  Soft crab season starts when it's warm in May and tapers off in September, so come and get 'em!  

On the topic of seafood, Duangrat's does not bill itself as a seafood restaurant, but we serve plenty of it!  Duangrat's procures white domestic wild caught shrimp, seasonal soft crabs, live whole Maine lobsters, sea scallop, and a diverse portfolio of quality fish:  wild king salmon, red snapper, rainbow trout, Chilean sea bass, rockfish, flounder, cod.  We procure our seafood fresh when possible, at least 3 times a week from only two boutique seafood suppliers based in Maryland's Eastern shore- not a big box restaurant supply wholesaler.

Coming soon…a very limited supply of Rogue Sriracha Stout!!!

Contrary to popular belief, Sriracha sauce was not an invention or brand coined by its California based producer, Huy Fong.   While the brand Sriracha has become generically used like Coke and Tabasco, and its red plastic squeeze bottle & green cap iconic- the true origin of this sauce is Thailand.  That's right, Sriracha hot sauce was invented in the town of Sriracha, Thailand by the Panich family.  Unfortunately, the family missed the boat and did not capitalize on global distribution and trademarking like Huy Fong.

Rogue Brewery, out of Oregon, known for its prolific limited production craft beer has hit a home run in its unlikely collaboration with the Huy Fong Sriracha sauce factory.  The stout is very drinkable (5.7% ABV) with just a bit of zesty kick in the aftertaste.  

Supply is very limited, in fact we were only allocated one case, so this unique brew doesn't come cheap at $25 per 750 ml bottle!  Should you order one?  Sriracha + beer, why wouldn't you?  A second, maybe not.  But at least you'll have a nifty souvenir bottle and conversation starter to share with friends! 

No one ever said chasing spicy Thai food with spicy Thai inspired beer was a bright idea- but you only live once!  

The original Thai version, produced in the beach town of Sriracha, just outside of Bangkok, Thailand:

SRIRACHA + BEER = HECK YEAH!!!
