I’ve seen a lot of popups for this on various restaurant sites but wasn’t sure if it was a scam. Can you do it for each restaurant?! that’s wild

just depends which restaurants are affiliated with inKind. Definitely not a scam.
They invest in companies and in turn request food/bev credit which they then sell to consumers.

I agree not everything has to be life changing - I think it was more a response to the line, the crowd, and the overall hype surrounding it, especially when you consider how great our options are here in LA. Beyond that, very happy it exists and I’m sure I’ll be back!

I think it’s better than you’re making it out to be. The execution in some of the dishes is better than I’ve seen anywhere. Take the kabocha squash and eggplant with purple rice. Excellent texture, color, flavor, ingredient quality. Everything about that dish is a cut above the most comparable dish at any Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. The rice quality alone – whether it be the white rice or the purple rice – is better than that of nearly every Thai restaurant in LA. Better flavor, less mushy texture.

I used to try to cook Thai food at home using David Thompson’s book “Thai Food,” but it was impossible to get some of the ingredients. Cilantro roots was perhaps the biggest challenge. I couldn’t find them at any Thai markets. I guess you have to grow your own or know the farmers.

There is a stand at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market that has them regularly. Blanking on the name but it’s close to Weiser.

I’ve bought cilantro roots at Thai grocers.
It’d be hard to cook Thai food without a Thai grocery store.

I tried using it at Death&Co last year. Definitely not a scam and definitely worth it if it’s a spot you like or are going to check out anyway.
