Chef Airon relocated from California to Chicago to refine his craft under some of the country’s most respected chefs. Classically trained with a diverse culinary background, he has developed a deep appreciation for global cuisines, including mastering multiple approaches to preparing Pad Thai—each rooted in tradition and respectful of the dish’s heritage.

Known for his approachable teaching style, Chef Airon focuses on simplifying techniques and emphasizing the “why” behind each step, rather than having students follow instructions without understanding. While his demeanor is lighthearted and engaging, he is deeply committed to ensuring his students leave with both the skills they came to learn and an enjoyable, memorable experience.
