Khe-Yo Features Bold Laotian Flavors

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

• Khe-Yo — by Iron Chef star Marc Forgione, Nick Bradley, and executive chef/partner Soulayphet Schwader — is an exotic Southeast Asian hot spot serving Laotian-style eats inside a bustling brick-walled establishment
• Staples of Lao cuisine — galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime, and ginger — are present throughout the menu. Within the warm and inviting backdrop, Schwader’s menu is designed for sharing and packed with heat (as typical Lao cuisine usually is), full of flavor, and meant for eating with your hands. Each meal begins with sticky rice in a bamboo basket and two housemade sauces; eggplant mash, and Bang-Bang sauce with fresh red chilies, cilantro, lime juice, and fish sauce
• A few favorites from the menu include the crunchy coconut rice (spicy lime leaf sausage and baby iceberg), the Jurgielwicz duck salad (arugula and toasted rice), and from the lunch menu; coconut crusted soft shell shrimp banh mi (pickled jalapeños and sriracha mayo), and the lemongrass chicken
