Nui Kullanna is reinventing the suburban Thai-American landscape with her fresh and creative treatments of authentic flavors. In her vibrant, copper-filled Thai L’Elephant bistro, Kullanna crafts pieces of culinary art from scratch—all enticing spins on native dishes. Mae Nam is a tantalizing take on surf and turf, while the classic Chu Chee Duck arrives tender and crunchy. Kullanna also excels at desserts: The house-made coconut ice cream is pure bliss.
