Natives of Thailand, Chailada “Joop” Hanchanlash and her partner, Thiti “Tan” Suwannathat, are bringing some of their culture to LaFayette. They recently opened the Station House restaurant in the historic downtown area, offering cuisines from around the world.
Renovations to the restaurant, which last operated as Chattanooga Street Tavern, were complete in mid-September and a soft opening held in early October.
A grand opening is planned for Thursday, Oct. 14 from 4-6 p.m.
“I want to have French, Asian, Italian, Latin American and American cuisines,” said Hanchanlash. “I show the world map on the wall to show that food from around the world is served here. I also want people to see who we are and where we are from.”
Throughout her career, she has learned to create a variety of foods under various chefs from around the world.
