Eem opened on N Williams in March 2019, a three-way collaboration between Thai chef Earl Ninsom, pitmaster Matt Vicedomini (Matt's BBQ next door at Prost Marketplace) and bartender Eric Nelson. The white curry with burnt brisket ends was the kitchen's marquee dish from the first menu and the one that travelled. Texas Monthly and Bon Appetit both put it on national lists. Ninsom calls it pad pet, Thai for spicy stir-fry, applied to slow-smoked beef. Eem's success spawned Yaowarat (2023) and OK Chicken & Khao Soi (2026). The brisket comes off Vicedomini's offset smoker, then is finished in the curry to order.
