A celebration of northern Thai cuisine features chef Andy Ricker, who's credited with bringing authentic Thai food to America. With Lotus of Siam chef-owner Saipin Chutima, he prepares a welcome dinner for the chefs at a Las Vegas food festival; and Jet Tila, one of the attendees, recalls when his family opened a Thai grocery store in Hollywood. Also: a Thai temple in L.A. is visited.
