Daniel Thaiger

Set to launch mid-September, Crying Thaiger will take over the intimate wedge of space formerly Opposite Mess Hall on Sukhumvit Soi 51. Kitted out with a big flat-top griddle and a charcoal grill, the open kitchen will serve up what Daniel Thaiger founder Mark Falcioni calls "American steakhouse burgers" along with steaks, other proteins (pork, lamb) and a few sides. The hint, he says, is in the name, which is a reference to the famous Thai dish of grilled steak and jim jaew. Read our full low-down or keep an eye on www.fb.com/DanielThaiger.

Hot Wheels Pizza

Teddy Blackway’s pizza truck has always seemed so small for such a sizable wood-fired oven, where he makes his Neapolitan-style pizzas. Now he’s set to partner with Avi Yashaya of Let the Boy Die bar to open a pizza-and-beer place on Thonglor. Opening in August. www.fb.com/hotwheelspizzabkk

El Mariachi Taqueria

The taqueria truck was once a restaurant way out in Srinakarin before closing down and hitting the road. By the end of August, you’ll find its hearty Mexican fare in a sit-down setting at Sansiri’s new community mall Habito in On Nut. www.fb.com/ElMariachiBKK
