$64,000: What type of restaurant was being reviewed in a newspaper article that was fittingly titled "All You Need Is Larb"?
A - Mexican
B - Greek
C - Italian
D - Thai
Catherine says she could guess but that would be stupid. Her first instinct is to "Ask the Host". She only thinks she knows it. Jimmy Kimmel doesn't know it, but he doesn't think it's Mexican, and he knows it's not Italian. He thinks it's Thai but he's not 100% certain because he doesn't typically eat Thai food. He advises her to choose "D". That's what she thought it was.
Spoiler
Answer: D (Thai)
