By Kwak Yeon-soo


BANGKOK ― Thitid "Ton" Tassanakajohn and Pichaya "Pam" Utharntharm are the world's foremost Thai chefs who are reinterpreting classic Thai dishes. Both graduates of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), they returned to their homeland to create innovative Thai cuisines that use modern cooking techniques.
방콕 – 톤(Thitid "Ton" Tassanakajohn) 셰프와 팜(Pichaya "Pam" Utharntharm) 셰프는 전통 태국 음식을 재해석하는 세계적으로 유명한 태국인 셰프들이다. CIA 요리학교를 졸업한 두 셰프는 이후 현대적 조리법을 활용한 획기적인 태국 음식을 만들어내기 위해 본국으로 돌아왔다.


Chef Ton had worked in many Michelin-starred restaurants in New York, including Eleven Madison Park, The Modern and Jean Georges before opening his restaurant Le Du in Thailand nine years ago. Originated from Thai word meaning "season," Le Du is ranked No. 4 by Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.
톤 셰프는 9년 전 태국에 ‘르 두 레스토랑'을 오픈하기 전 ‘일레븐 매디슨 파크', ‘더 모던', ‘장 조지'와 같이 뉴욕에 위치한 여러 미슐랭 스타 레스토랑에서 근무했다. ‘계절'을 의미하는 태국어에서 기원한 ‘르 두 레스토랑'은 아시아 50대 레스토랑에서 4위를 차지했다.


Chef Pam trained at three-starred Jean-Georges restaurant in the U.S. She was selected in Forbes 30 Under 30 before becoming a judge of Top Chef Thailand, a cooking competition show. Her restaurant "Potong," which translates as "simple," serves imaginative Thai cuisine that focuses on seasonality and sustainability.
팜 셰프는 미국에 위치한 미슐랭 3스타 장 조지 레스토랑에서 교육받았다. 그녀는 요리 경연 대회 탑 셰프 타일랜드의 심사위원이 되기 전 포브스지의 30 언더 30에 선정되었다. 탐 셰프의 레스토랑 ‘포통'은 ‘단순한'이라는 뜻으로 번역되는데 이 레스토랑은 계절의 변화와 지속가능성에 집중한 창의적인 태국 음식을 선보인다.


Recently, the two chefs participated in S. Pellegrino Young Chef Asia regional finals as jury members to search for their successors in representing Asia and bringing Asian cuisine to the world.
최근 두 셰프는 아시아를 대표하고 아시아 음식을 세계에 전파하는 후계자를 찾기 위해 산펠레그리노 영 셰프 경연대회 아시아 지역 결선 심사에 참여했다.


Below is an excerpt of The Korea Times interview with them. It has been edited for clarity and readability.
아래는 코리아타임스와 두 셰프의 인터뷰 발췌본이다. 명료성과 가독성을 위해 편집되었다.


How do you feel about S. Pellegrino Young Chef Asia regional finals being held in Thailand?
산펠레그리노 영 셰프 경연대회 아시아 지역 결선이 태국에서 열리는 소감은?


Pam: I think it's very exciting that the event is held in Thailand this year. It brings a lot of young chefs to explore Thailand, Thai culture and Thai food.
팜: 올해 태국에서 행사가 열린다는 사실은 매우 신나는 일이라고 생각한다. 이 행사를 통해 많은 젊은 요리사들이 태국, 태국 문화 및 태국 음식을 탐험할 수 있을 것이다.


Ton: This is a jumpstart for young chefs to get experience and attention in the culinary world. Back in the days when we were young chefs, we didn't have this kind of opportunity. So I want to tell young chefs, especially those in Thailand, to not be afraid and just out and show what they've got.
톤: 이는 젊은 요리사들이 요리계에서 경험과 관심을 얻을 수 있는 시작점이다. 우리가 어린 셰프였을 때 이러한 기회가 많이 없었다. 그래서 젊은 셰프들, 특히 태국에 있는 이들에게 두려워하지 말고 나아가 자신이 가진 것을 보여주라고 말하고 싶다.


How has Thai culture and your heritage affected your cooking style?
태국 문화와 유산은 어떻게 요리 스타일에 영향을 주었는가?


Pam: My restaurant Potong is all about heritage. It's located in a 120-year-old building, which belongs to my ancestors who moved from China. We became Chinese-Thai. When I started running the restaurant, I told myself that this is the place I want to bring my heritage, use my techniques and create a cuisine that's never done before.
팜: 내 레스토랑 포통은 모두 유산과 관련이 있다. 이 레스토랑은 120년 된 건물 안에 있는데, 이는 중국에서 이주해온 조상들의 건물이다. 우리는 중국계 태국인이 된 것이다. 레스토랑 운영을 처음 시작할 때 이 공간은 내 유산을 가져오고, 내 기술을 사용하고, 전에 없던 요리를 만들고 싶은 공간이라고 스스로에게 말했다.


Ton: What we try to do is to modernize Thai food, but still keep the goodness of classic Thai cuisine. I think it's important for all the chefs in Thailand to remember that when they cook, they represent their own culture.
톤: 우리는 태국 음식을 현대화하면서도 전통적인 태국 요리의 장점을 여전히 유지하려고 한다. 태국의 모든 셰프들이 요리를 할 때 자신의 문화를 대표하고 있다는 것을 기억하는 것이 중요하다고 생각한다.


Asia food is growing rapidly in the global market and Asian chefs are attracting a lot of attention nowadays. What are your thoughts on the impact of Asian food in the gastronomy market?
아시아 음식은 세계 시장에서 빠르게 성장하고 있고 요즘 아시아 셰프들이 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 미식 시장에 아시아 음식이 끼치는 영향에 대해 어떻게 생각하는가?


Ton: Asian food and culture is a worldwide sensation. In every corner around the world, you can find Asian restaurants, including Thai, Korean and Vietnamese … Restaurants use more and more Asian ingredients. I think it's a positive thing that more people from other parts of continents try to explore Asian food.
톤: 아시아 음식과 문화는 세계적인 돌풍이다. 전세계 곳곳에서 태국, 한국 및 베트남을 비롯한 아시아 레스토랑을 찾을 수 있다. … 레스토랑들도 아시아의 재료를 점차 더 많이 사용하고 있다. 다른 대륙에서 온 많은 이들이 아시아 음식을 알아보기 위해 시도하는 것은 긍정적인 일이라고 생각한다.
