Joe Kitsana may be the hardest working man in hospitality. Kitsana has been on the Sydney hospo scene for more than 20 years, notably at Longrain as well as neighbourhood mainstays Sailors Thai and Phamish. In June 2016, he took over the lease of neighbourhood cafe Kings Lane Sandwiches, eventually turning it into a Thai restaurant that he ran entirely on his own. Front of house, waiter, dishwasher, head chef: it’s just Joe. Now, the one-man operation has relocated and reopened in a bigger space with the twice the capacity and Broadsheet Editor Lucy Bell Bird thinks he's up to the challenge. Plus, Sydney’s only dedicated specialty hot sauce shop launches in Manly, with fiery drops and an aussie-powered tasting bar.
