About Your Guide
Hong Thaimee
Chef/Owner, Thaimee LOVE
Originally from Chiang Mai, Thailand, Hong Thaimee is a chef, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who has served as a global ambassador for Thai cuisine and culture for nearly a decade. She first won critical acclaim for her restaurant, Ngam, in New York’s East Village, where she introduced her style of modern Thai comfort food.
In 2015, Hong published her first cookbook “True Thai” (Rizzoli), displaying her vivacious personality, skill, and passion for the unique flavors of her homeland. Now one of the most visible faces of Thai food in the US, Hong has been invited to cook at prestigious venues around the world including New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the James Beard House, and for numerous 5-Star hotel brands.
She has appeared on TV in the US and across Southeast Asia, including on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America,” in a major TV campaign for Air Asia, and as a judge on a prominent Thai cooking series. Hong currently serves on City Harvest’s Food Council, and is a Global Chef Ambassador for the AIDS charity (RED).
In the Fall of 2020, she debuted her latest venture, Thaimee LOVE, centered around a “Thai-inspired way of living.” The culinary and lifestyle brand includes a six-month pop-up restaurant in New York’s West Village, virtual cooking classes, meal delivery kits, and a Thai product line.
Additionally, Hong is collaborating with Heermance Farm in the Hudson Valley to grow Thai ingredients, and source the freshest local meat, seafood, and produce for her restaurant. A portion of the proceeds from Thaimee LOVE will benefit City Harvest, RED, and ROAR, an organization raising funds for hospitality professionals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
