Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

norrispham.JPGAfter you enjoy a fine meal at Temple or Azia, I’d think twice about skipping out on your bill. Restaurant owner and former judo instructor Thom Pham will personally hunt you down and make you pay.

Last month Reginald Wilder and Lance Burrow (dressed as a woman) got a personal tour of the Temple restaurant by Pham, enjoyed a $410 dollar meal and skipped out on the bill.

Heading over to Azia, the pair didn’t expect to encounter Pham and a roundhouse kick to the face when they fled the restaurant and were “held” by Pham’s stellar judo moves until police arrive.

What a story! It’s good to know Minneapolis has it’s own “Chuck- Vietnamese chef and restaurant owner -Norris”.

Thom Pham Facts:
–Thom Pham’s favorite cut of meat is the roundhouse.
–In an average kitchen there are 1,142 objects Thom Pham could use to kill you, including the kitchen itself.
–There is no grocery list, just a list of foodstuffs Thom Pham allows to exist.
–Thom Pham does not “style” his entrĂ©es on the plate. They lay perfectly in place out of sheer terror.
–Thom Pham has two speeds: Cook and Kill.

And why did it take a month for us to find out about this? Maybe the media had to wait until Thom Pham said “go.”

    Thom Pham doesn’t read blogs, he crushes them with his mind. Why did the chicken cross the road? Because Thom Pham threw it.

    There are only two moves in Judo that result in death: (1) The Thom Pham and (2) the Five-Point Palm Exploding Heart technique. Thom Pham invented them both.
