Great Neck: Thai banquet at Lola
To celebrate the premiere of his new PBS cooking show, “Runaway Chef: Thailand,” Michael Ginor is cooking three Thai banquets at his Great Neck restaurant, Lola.
“Runaway Chef” is an hourlong tour of Thailand, from Bangkok, the capital in the South, to the poor, little-visited region of Isaan in the Northeast. The show airs this Sunday at 4 p.m. on WNET/13 and on Monday, Dec. 27 at 8.p.m. on WLIW/21 and Lola will host viewing parties for both showings. Here's Newsday's review.
