Thailand’s most celebrated rice varieties take center stage as Noah Sandoval, 2025 James Beard Award winner® for Best Chef: Great Lakes, leads an all-star culinary lineup exploring the versatility of these captivating grains.
Joining him are chef Neal Harden, culinary director of ABC Restaurants and executive chef of abcV; chef Pithayakorn “Fo” Panapoi of La Dong; pastry chef Oksana Chepoy of Flore Café; and mixologist Chompon “Boong” Boonnak of Mahaniyom.
Together, they will reinterpret iconic Thai rice varieties—including jasmine (hom mali), riceberry, brown rice, and sticky rice—through inventive dishes and beverage pairings, including a “liquid rice” cocktail.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
