The chef at LA's best restaurant, Anajak Thai, swapped his Disney animation job for the kitchen after his dad's stroke
Justin Pichetrungsi is quickly becoming one of America's most exciting chefs.
But since taking over Anajak Thai in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, in 2019, Pichetrungsi has molded the 43-year-old venue into an award-winning eatery that some of America's most prominent food critics have praised.Pichetrungsi said that he recently discovered his mother took him straight to Anajak Thai soon after he was born; he said he's been working there in some capacity ever since.
But most nights, Pichetrungsi would still help out at his parents' restaurant, which was often short-staffed. He also taught classes at ArtCenter, underlining his willingness to burn the candle at both ends.
