Lakana was born into a family of farmers and raised in Thailand's north eastern countryside known as Isaan. She would wake before sunrise, spending the early morning hours with her mother and great-grandmother to preparing meals to feed the family, co-workers, and to sell at her school’s market before going to class. Everything was done by hand, over live fire in a ground pit, no refrigeration, no freezers. All the ingredients provided daily by what her family grew or tended to, from the garden to the chicken coop. It is from these experiences that her passion for cooking was born, and now she joyfully shares her traditions, passed through the generations, with you and her community in Austin as the owner and chef of DEE DEE food truck established in 2016.
