New York deli brand Dean and Deluca is celebrating its eighth anniversary in Thailand and marking the 41st birthday of the chain by re-introducing eight best-selling dishes.

 

“Flashback,” as the promotion is called, offers The Dean Pancake, Crab Louis Salad, Nicoise Salad, Meatloaf, Piri Piri Chicken, Chicken Enchilada, and Fish Taco and will be exclusively available at Mahanakhon Cube, Central Embassy, The EmQuartier, and The Crystal branches. The eighth blast from the past, the New York Sundae, comes in three flavours, namely Chocolate Rocky Road Sundae, Strawberry Crumble Sundae, and Banana Nutty Caramel Sundae, and will be available at every branch except Khao Yai and Suvannabhumi Airport.

Dean and Deluca is also offering Surprise boxes worth Bt3,000 to the eight lucky winners of the “Snap and Share” campaign. To enter simply take a photo of any food, drinks, or products from Dean and Deluca with Chocolate Lollipop 8th Anniversary, and post on your instagram with hashtag #8yrsdeandelucath. A winner will be drawn every week. 

Dean and Deluca, an American chain of upscale restaurant and cafe, was established in Soho, New York in 1977 by Joel Dean, Giorgio DeLuca, and Jack Ceglic, who are passionate about cooking as much as exploring good sources of ingredients around the world.

 

The brand was so successful that it expanded its business to many cities in and outside the US ranging from Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Kuwait, Singapore, and Philippines. Dean and Deluca is on the favourite dining list of many Hollywood celebrities including Emma Watson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Dakota Fanning.

Wow awesome, absolutely awesome. I am thrilled. What a scoop!!!!

This should be front page news world-wide.

D&D has 8th anniversary????? Must be a slow news day.

I don't seem to remember their 7th anniversary announcement.

[DrTuner]

Didn't know they are in Thailand. No wonder after checking out their locations, they look like a Hi-So wannabe destination. Will need an army to force me into one of those.

My wife and I had breakfast there last weekend and had two different very good pancake entrees for 250b each.  Other times, when we're there for lunch, I'll have their falafel pita and fries for about 250b that's very good.

 

Eating well there doesn't have to be expensive. But the food there is generally a cut above most cafe type restaurants in BKK or Thailand.

Great food there. Cannot complain at a lunch there which might cost 8 - 10 quid.

Is it just me or did a certain "restaurant" just get a few thousand Baht worth of free advertizing!?

Didn't know this brand was well-known internationally - was never tempted to try it.

[mstevens]

Very, very good coffee, cakes & pastries.  Light meals look good too, but never tried them as the prices are more like a 5 star hotel than what I would expect in a cafe.

[lamyai3]

The coffee is very good. Sandwiches are expensive but tasty, some of the branches do a half sandwich which is a reasonable size and cost.

Free? Very doubtful . . .

[seminomadic]

Best pizza in Asia.

This site should start stating that these types of articles are paid for advertisements rather than masquerading them as news stories.

That's a 1st world country thing. In here it suffices to assume somebody is always trying the peddle you something. Extreme prejudice works.

Wife and I were back there for brunch today at the Central Embassy branch...

 

I had a chicken enchilada entree for 325b, and she had a smoked duck and cranberry salad for 325b.

 

I know choosing a pair of $10 U.S. entrees at a sit-down western restaurant in BKK probably means I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage on the house. But every now and again, I think my wife is probably worth going a bit overboard!
