JOCELYN LAW-YONE // FORMER EXECUTIVE CHEF & CO-OWNER, THAMEE
RAMMY nominee for Rising Culinary Star, James Beard award semifinalist, and Guy's Grocery Games winner Jocelyn Law-Yone (a.k.a. Chef JoJo) was previously the executive chef and co-owner of Eater DC's 2019 Restaurant of the Year and one of Thrillist's dozen national Best New Restaurant picks, Thamee. A teacher, student, artist, and traveler who swims with sharks, she beat Bobby Flay on his iconic Food Network show with her signature Burmese dishes!
A lifelong creative, Chef JoJo grew up in Rangoon, Burma. At an early age, she learned that quality food is an essential ingredient for good dinner conversations. As a child, she often followed relatives to the market and watched how they used fresh ingredients to create fragrant and delicious meals from scratch. Even after Thamee was forced to close as a result of the global pandemic, Chef JoJo hopes her approach to Burmese cooking will continue to be enjoyed anytime people seek to create new memories with family and friends.

“I don’t have room to play at Padaek or Thip Khao, Baan Mae allows me to step out of my comfort zone. This is a playground. I can come in here and have fun. I want this to be a place where we can all create and collaborate”
— Chef Seng Luangrath, Chef/Owner of Baan Mae
