Click on the restaurant that most clearly fits that category.<br><br>Anon e.

From Steven Sanith.<br>Thanks,<br>justin<br><br>Sabaidee,<br><br>If you have any idea as to how we can encourage Yelp.com to add a "Lao cuisine" category, please feel free to reply to me and let's start a campaign to promote Lao cuisine. Now is the best time since the first International Lao New Year Festival is right around the corner. That event would be a great place to encourage the Lao community to actively participate in promoting Lao cuisine by emailing the management of Yelp.com and other food-oriented websites to add a ?Lao cuisine? category to their sites. The CEO of Yelp.com mentioned to me that there has to be a demand for the ?Lao cuisine? category. So
I think we should give them that demand by getting thousands and thousands of people to send the management of Yelp.com email letters until they?re willing to add ?Lao cuisine? to their database.<br><br> <br><br>Khop Jai,<br><br> <br><br>Steven Sanith<br><br>______________<br><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
