East Orlando’s Lert Thai dazzles diners with revitalized classics

We live in the Age of Enshittification. Improvement is increasingly rare and when it happens, it does so slowly and discretely. But there are exceptions: The transformation of Thai food in Orlando has been both meteoric and widespread. And with any movement there are originators — with any renaissance, shining lights.

Last time Rosalía came to Florida (back in 2022 for III Points), it was all Motomami, minimalism and that endlessly memed gum-chewing “Bizcochito” performance. Now, she’s fronting…
