We are two people, a man and wife team, who like to eat, Michelle and Harold Stephens. Michelle is Thai/Filipina and Steve is a long time resident of Thailand, having first arrived in 1961. Readers may remember us from Outlook in the Bangkok Post where we had a weekly travel page for more than ten years. We not only traveled to every corner of Thailand, dining on local food, but also to nearly every country in the world, sampling the food there.

We like that you call us Mitch and Steve, bylines we used when writing for the Post, and we will tell you some secrets about dining in Bangkok and beyond, secrets you would not imagine. Our motto is quite simple -- try it. Steve will put on a tie and coat and Mitch a long dress to dine at The Oriental Hotel’s famous Le Normandy or at the Shangri-La's Angelini, and we are honest when we tell you what we liked and did not like.
