Dining Without Borders Hungry City: Baoburg in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

By LIGAYA MISHANJUNE 19, 2014 

Ms. Aksornnan grew up in Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand. At age 15, she came to New York and started cooking alongside her mother, Amornrat Fukuda, at Chai Thai Kitchen, which opened its first location a decade ago — two doors down, as it happens, from where Baoburg now stands. (Ms. Aksornnan’s father, Futoshi Fukuda, owns Ramen Yebisu, the restaurant in between, with which Baoburg shares a restroom, in familial fashion.)...

JOIN US AT WILLIAMSBURG’S MELTING POT DIVE INTO BAOBURG’S DIVERSE DISHES

By Meghan Rooney, October 22nd, 2013

Looking good on paper is easy; delivering the goods is a different story. Suchanan Aksornnan’s multicultural gem, Baoburg, masters the latter. Aksornnan (a.k.a. Bao Bao) has deep culinary roots: She spent time cooking with her grandma in Thailand and later in NYC with her mom (adorable fact: Mama Bao Bao, also a chef, works at the restaurant two doors away from Baoburg), earned a degree from NYC’s French Culinary Institute, rubbed elbows with Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Daniel Boulud, and soaked up inspiration from her Japanese stepfather..

Chef Suchanan Aksornnan, nicknamed Chef Bao Bao, was born in Chiang Rai, the northernmost province of Thailand. Surrounded by nature with plenty of organic and fresh ingredients, and mentored by her grandma and mom, she made her first dish at about 5 years of age.

At 15, she came to the US and in between school classes, she helped in her mom’s restaurant. After graduating from The French Culinary Institute in NY, she began training at L'école in NYC. Soon after, she landed her first job at the Mercer Kitchen working with renowned Chef, Jean Georges. Following this, she became the lead line cook at Soho House Hotel. And she had 2 years of an amazing experience working under Chef Daniel Boulud at Bar Boulud. 

She also worked as a personal chef alongside celebrity chefs such as Marc Ecko and Tiffany Derry. Her clientele included: Beyoncé & Jay Z, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Lu, Janet Jackson, Princess of Saudi Arabia.

In 2013, Chef Bao Bao opened her own restaurant, Baoburg, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (relocated to Greenpoint in 2015) which she runs to date. This cozy restaurant offers Southeast Asian street-style comfort food. In 2019, it received a Thai Select Certificate from the Ministry of Commerce Thailand. 

In 2015 Chef Bao Bao was recognized by Zagat as one of ‘30 Under 30’ culinary rising stars in NYC and was featured in numerous food & dining publications. In 2016, Thrillist.com recognized her as one of 11 ‘The Most Badass Female Chefs in New York’. She also received the Thai DNA Ambition Award. Her camera appearances include being a contestant in a popular Esquire Network TV show, ‘Knife Fight’, ‘Beat Bobby Flay’ (twice) and got the title of a Chopped Champion in 2022 on The Food Network channel. She was a guest chef at ‘Action Bronson Show’ at Vice HQ.
