Sukhothai

"It all started on an elephant," or so goes the Regular family legend that would eventually beget sukhoTHAI and the new high-end venture Pai. Jeff Regular was travelling in Thailand when he found himself on a precarious elephant ride with a beautiful stranger, one Nuit Regular, a Thai nurse. A few years later the two had opened a quaint little grub hub called the Curry Shack.

Now the family runs a veritable Thai food empire here in Toronto. In 2008, Papa Vincente Regular, his two business-savvy sons Joel and Jeff, and his daughter-in-law Nuit Regular opened sukhoTHAI’s first location on Parliament Street to rave reviews. Since then, new gems sporting the same adorable elephant logo have been cropping up about town. Thanks to Nuit's passion for flavour and the Regulars' undeniable business sense, it seems that the iron throne of curry may be forever spoken for in Toronto.
