Back in late 2024, I posted that I had finally met the “Cow Hat Lady” at the North Gate Night Market in Chiang Mai. I never shared this part, but I went back one last time before leaving Thailand — just to soak it all in before moving on to the next destination.

She’s still there, serving the amazing food that somehow tastes even better with a cold Chang beer in hand.

Tony was my idol, my hero, and my inspiration. He taught me that food is more than food — it’s people, culture, kindness, and connection. Traveling to places he once walked through makes me feel a little closer to that spirit.

Next stop in 2026: Seoul, South Korea. Another one of Tony’s places.
