Benchawan Painter - AKA Chef G - wins Best Chef Texas in the James Beard awards.
Space city can add another star to its galaxy. Chef Benchawan Jabthong Painter was declaredat last night's James Beard Awards ceremony for the 2023 James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards. She beat out four other worthy Texas chefs for the top prize.
Chef G, as she is commonly known, won the prestigious title for JBA 2023 due to her Street to Kitchen restaurant which she founded with her husband, Graham Painter, in 2020. A native of Nakhon Sawan, a city in Northern Thailand, Chef Benchawan learned much of her culinary style from her grandmother who operated a restaurant in the"Heavenly City". That experience led to stints at different Bangkok restaurants and pastry shops.
Eventually, Chef Benchawan would add important Houston restaurants to her resume including Justin Yu's Theodore Rex and Saltair Kitchen.Her approach to her cuisine is unapologetically Thai which means she doesn't hold back on the spice or muddy the flavors with less authentic ingredients. With the success of Street to Kitchen, she has not only earned the JBA award and a loyal customer base but she has also joined forces with Chef David Skinner of eculent.
Unfortunately, Houston did not take the number one honors in two other finalist categories, though just making it as a finalist is a very big deal in the James Beard Awards orbit. Nancy's Hustle was nominated for Outstanding Wine & Other Beverages Program but lost out to Ototo, a small sake bar in Los Angeles.
Tatemo, chef Emmanuel Chavez's tiny tortilla-centric restaurant, was in the final running for Best New Restaurant, a very big honor for a small establishment that is lauded for its tasting menu. In the end, Kann, chef Gregory Gourdet's Haitian live-fire restaurant in Portland, Oregon took home the accolade of JBA's Best New Restaurant.
