Portrait of Rod Lassiter
i. Biography
The Essentials At Talat Market in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, the work is defined by Thai cooking made from scratch with the best Georgia ingredients Rod Lassiter and the team could find. That approach keeps the menu grounded in local supply while holding to a Thai framework, with Lassiter in the role of owner and partner rather than front-facing figurehead. His own shorthand for the job is plain: “At the end of the day, we’re just two chefs trying to run a restaurant.”
