Dr. Dan Lives!....
Dr. Dan Scala was spotted contentedly sipping a Gin and Tonic over Songkran weekend in his new found paradise garden at Map Ta Phut. Friends of Dr. Dan and Nu will be very happy to know that California Coolers is open for business. Our hawk-eyed reporter was given a taste of what’s to come and he swears that Nu can make the best American food this side of the Alamo. What is American food?, you may ask. How about a little of Mexican, Italian, English, German, Chinese, Thai, French, Japanese, many and other “eeses” imaginable.
