Meet Chef Nam
Bringing authentic Thai flavors and global culinary expertise to create unforgettable catering experiences throughout Ann Arbor and Michigan.

Rooted in Flavor.
Driven By Heart.
Born in Thailand and raised with a deep appreciation for authentic flavors, Chef Nam's culinary journey began in her grandmother's kitchen, where she learned that the best meals are prepared with love, patience, and respect for tradition.
After moving to Michigan and working in professional kitchens for over 15 years, Chef Nam discovered her passion for bringing people together through food. She founded Chef Nam Catering to share the warmth and hospitality of Thai culture with the Ann Arbor community.
Today, Chef Nam blends her heritage with global culinary techniques and local Michigan ingredients, creating fusion dishes that tell a story of connection, celebration, and care. Every event is an opportunity to make people feel seen, celebrated, and well-fed.
