Will this include "graphic corn dogs and waffles"?

Educating the general population on personal hygiene (washing hands with soap after using lavatory and before/during food preparation) would be a good start

The hub of food poisoning!

Thailand makes a very narrow selection of food generally. Not exactly representative of a world kitchen. Grocery store of the world might be a better fit.

Do they mean "kitchen sink" of the world?

I suspect you want to start a revolution 

The amazing Thai imagination

 

Yes, but it's the garbage behind the kitchen and in the drains that's worrying .

Why not making kitchen of the universe?
Planet Thailand rules...

I bet Yoda never ate better than at Planet Thailand...

True, Chinatown and old Bangkok has the widest variety of food.  Otherwise, it is same same everywhere else.
