Wilaiwan Kitchen
At their food cart outside Montpelier’s county courthouse, Wilaiwan Phonjan and her husband, Tim Azarian, serve colorful, spicy fare that fuses traditional Thai street food with the cuisine of Phonjan’s native region near the Laos border. They roll out two dishes at lunchtime every weekday — such as coconut curry or crispy pork salad — and almost always sell out within two hours.
