Nakhon Luang Thai Kitchen
Nakhon Luang Thai Kitchen is a chef-owned Thai and Lao restaurant in Colorado Springs, CO — and this is where we share what inspires the food on our menu. From the street markets of Bangkok to the night bazaars of Luang Prabang, Thai and Lao cuisine carries centuries of regional tradition. Here, you'll find conversations about the dishes, the ingredients, the cultures, and the people behind a menu built to honor all of it. Chef-owner Toui Phommalath brings nearly 20 years of culinary experience. Owner Lilly Boonyapapong spent her life in Bangkok before bringing that knowledge to Colorado Springs. Together, they've built a kitchen that doesn't simplify or Americanize — and this channel reflects that same commitment. If you've ever wondered what makes Northern Thai Khao Soi different from a Southern Thai curry, or why Lao Larb is one of the most misunderstood dishes in Southeast Asian cuisine, you're in the right place. 📍 805 Village Center Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80919 🌐 https://nakhonluangthaicos.com/order/ 📞+17195315175

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
