This is Fuji San. You’ve probably passed it if you’ve been on York Road just north of Cranbrook, Timonium sore on the road to Cockeysville and the Hunt Valley, just a phenomenal Asian place to grab Thai food. I have a delicious chicken Pad Thai. I have the drunken noodles with beef. It is my go to, and you should go to and get to Fuji song. I’ll show you the food. So here’s the thing about Fuji song, I always get it to go. I’ve never sat in the restaurant, although you have to walk into the restaurant to actually get it. So it does just come in the, you know, plastic container, raw, covid friendly. Around here. We actually found Fuji during the during covid, at the end of covid out in Timonium and Cockeysville. This is the delicious, delicious Drunken Noodles. And if you go to their website, it says right on their website, that they have the best chicken Pad Thai in town and Drunken Noodles in town. And they really do. I ordered these two items the first time when I went to Fujisan, and I have never, ever regretted it. It’s just delicious. It probably should be higher up on the list, to be honest with you. You know, growing up in Dundalk, I didn’t have, like, the widest palate, and I don’t even know where I would have gone to get Thai food. And, you know, when I was younger, I kind of thought it was a little spicy, you know. And then I learned how to eat with chopsticks. Long story, going back to being in China in 2007 with Cal Ripken, and I I didn’t know how to use chopsticks, because I’m missing a pretty key finger for chopsticks, but I have learned how to use chopsticks, and it’s one of things I brag on in life to say, hey, if I can learn how to do that with a missing finger, I could probably throw a curve ball. But this here is just so delicious, and this is the chicken Pad Thai, a lot of peanut, very, very mild. And then this is a level one out of three peppers, so it’s kind of the mildest version of the Drunken Noodles. And I got the beef and I swore in this 27 days I was just going to feature one item. Fuji San will not allow me to do that. If I had to take one of the over the other, I would take the Drunken Noodles. But that being said, don’t go there and not get the chicken Pad Thai.
