This week, go nuts on fish cake patties, Sriracha noodles and papaya salad during the first DFW Thai Restaurant Week, which happens April 13-20. Get hungry, because 17 restaurants are participating in the event.

Starting Wednesday, each restaurant "will introduce one unique Thai item to their menu and/or specials for that week only," according to organizers. Specials run the gamut from salmon Panang (Chili Thai) to larb chicken tacos (Best Thai Frisco) to 1930s-style street pad Thai (Bangkok City). Even Haute Sweets Patisserie is hopping into the fray with Thai tea macarons.
