A Jitlada offshoot in Long Beach
LA Weekly shares news that you can now find some Jitlada family recipes at Spicy Sugar in Long Beach. The East Broadway shop is run by Sugar Sungkamee, whose father Tui is one half of the operation up at Jitlada.

The idea is to move lines in and out even faster, and likely to ensure less waste overall.
