While spending last winter in Bangkok, the magazine BEEF assigned me to do an interview with a Thai chef on the subject of chillies. This gave me the chance to photograph and interview the owner of one of my favourite street food stalls, Cook Chom. Cooking for big hotels half of his life, he decided to open up his own place in Bangkok a few years ago, in order to spend more time with his family.
His claim to fame is to cook European-Thai fusion dishes for rock bottom streetfood prices. The food is great and you’ve just got to love his style…
