white pearl
there is a sizeable vietnamese, cambodian, and laotian refugee population in elgin and today, we recorded an interview with aloune, who left laos when he was a child. i asked him if there was any lao food in elgin and he said “yes! white pearl!” so that’s where we went.
the first good sign was the large amount of hot peppers growing in the parking lot.
DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT
