American celebrity chef Richard Blais (Top Chef All Stars winner, Iron Chef America Judge and Food Network host) will stop by Bangkok on Jul 28 to cook with one of our favorite local chefs, Thitid Tassanakajohn (of Le Du, Baa Ga Din and Baan), at Baa Ga Din.

The two Culinary Institute of America (CIA) graduates will showcase USDA ingredients as part of the annual US-Thai culinary envoy program. Each chef however will be embracing their own style of cooking.

Expect modern Thai takes on the ingredients from chef Ton,  such as seared scallop with massaman sauce and Angus beef tartare with candied betel leaf and tamarind gel.

On Blais’s side, we're told there'll be a playful take on beef fillet served with "Thai-bouleh" (that's a Thai-style tabouleh) and oysters and pearls.

Prices are still to be announced, but you can make your  reservations on 02-662-3813 or email info@baagadin.com.

Not available on Jul 28? No worries, the special dishes will be available on the menu at Ba Gaa Din from Aug 5-12.
