The Authentic Table with Dao from Baan Baan.

We are joined with Chef / Owner Operator Dao, the powerhouse behind Baan Baan Thai Restaurant — a place that’s become known not just for its bold, authentic Thai flavours, but for its heart. As both chef and owner-operator, Dao wears many hats: from crafting dishes rooted in tradition, to managing a busy kitchen & bar, to running the day-to-day of a growing business.

In this episode, Dao shares what it takes to stay true to your culinary roots while navigating the realities of business ownership. We talk about the challenges of being both in the kitchen and at the helm, what authenticity really means in today’s food scene, and how Dao built something that’s as much about community as it is about cuisine.
