  • Live Fire Cooking Club at Xiao Ye: Ma Der Lao

    Jun 24, 2025 only
    🔥 Live Fire Cooking Club at Xiao Ye: Ma Der Lao 🔥 We’re firing up the grills with Chef Jeff Chanchaleune of Ma Der Lao (Oklahoma City) for a night of bold, bright, spicy, funky Lao flavors—served Xiao Ye-style. Chef Jeff, a 2023 & 2024 James Beard finalist, brings his mom’s and grandma’s recipes to the fire for a one-night-only dinner on Tuesday, June 24. Expect grilled Lao sausage, duck khao soi radiatori, pandan cinnamon rolls, and more—all powered by Thaan Charcoal. This is more than a collab. It’s a cultural feast. A midnight snack shared between chosen family. An invitation to come thru and connect. Ma der! No tickets, but reservations highly recommended! A la carte menu all night; we'll have a few of Chef Jeff's dishes alongside our a la carte dinner menu.

    Everything about our meal was fantastic. Every dish was delicious and thought provoking, with interesting flavor combinations that I have rarely experienced in Portland. I could eat the khao soi radiatori every day. Khao soi is my favorite Thai dish and this brought it to life in an imaginative way while still staying true to the flavors of the original dish. The service was impeccable, with all the little flares of fine dining such as clean place settings for the entrée and clearing the table of crumbs between each setting, yet the ambience was relaxed and inviting, which is not often said of fine dining restaurants. 10/10 will definitely be back.
