My curry secret? Live in Minneapolis/St Paul. We have more southeast Asian folks per capita than any other city in the US, which means we have a gazillion wonderful Thai restaurants. The best curry in town, though, goes to "Singapore Chinese Cuisine" in Maplewood (a St Paul suburb), which is run by ethnic Chinese from Malaysia. Wonderful stuff! My runner-up curry is Harry Singh's, which is Caribbean.

I guess that's one important aspect... "curry" means a lot of different things, depending on where it's from. Thai, Indian, Malaysian, and Caribbean curries are all very different. And the GOOD stuff relies on ingredients not available in any ordinary grocery store, and techniques passed down via family and tradition rather than recipes.
