For the first time in several years, Chef Regular will introduce a new dish to PAI’s menu, and "one winner, along with up to three guests, will have the unique opportunity to try it before its public release; this experience also includes a [private dining session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinner-party) with Chef Regular, where guests can learn about the dish’s inspiration and her esteemed career in Toronto’s culinary community." PAI has become a popular destination, attracting both locals and visiting celebrities due to its authentic Thai cuisine. In collaboration with [DoorDash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-curry-chicken), this event highlights a new partnership between the platform and PAI’s parent company, Gusto 54 Restaurant Group.
