Thai cuisine with heart, straight to you.
Winsome Foods’ head chef Kannika McKelvey was born and raised in Thailand, splitting her time between the city of Bangkok and a rural life in the south of Thailand. In her culture, food sits at the very center of our lives. Friends, family, loved ones, and even strangers gather together to share the experience of unique flavors that highlight the perfected balance of sweetness, umami, and bold spiciness.
When she immigrated to the United States nearly 10 years ago, one of the biggest things she grew to miss about her old country was the food. She knew, as great as Thai restaurants can be, the real heart of Thai cuisine is cooked in the home, for the people we care about.
Kannika has a vision for something more personal than a restaurant. She takes the time to understand your tastes and listens to your vision. From there, she designs a menu that feels deeply personal and unforgettable.
She became focused on learning to cook the dishes she missed. She cooked for her friends. She cooked for her husband and young son. She poured her heart and soul into her cooking, and it became the way she expressed her love for those she cared about. It was as much an expression of her identity as it was nourishment.
