Jam Sanitchat and her partner Bruce Barnes opened the doors of Thai Fresh at 4 pm on August 6th 2008.

Jam grew up in Thailand and came to Austin in 2001 as a graduate student at UT. Teaching home cooking was a great way for her to bring her love for Thai food and the people around her all together!

In 2004, Jam started offering cooking classes in her home kitchen and in people's kitchen. Then, she started a stand at Sunset Valley Farmers' Market to promote her food and her services. After their son, Leo, was born, Jam started back at Austin Farmers' Market downtown and at the Triangle.

Bruce has been in the food business scene in Austin for almost 30 years. His experience in restaurant business and Jam's love for cooking has grown into a store that incorporates delicious meals, groceries and cooking classes. Jam and Bruce hope to bring Austin the finest quality Thai food.
