Friendsgiving at Kalaya, Presented by Resy
An annual collaborative Friendsgiving multi-course dinner at Kalaya in Philadelphia with Joey Baldino, Shola Olunloyo and Saif Manna.

A one-night Thai collaboration dinner at Kalaya in Philadelphia, bringing together Kalaya, Langbaan and AngloThai.
This in-person dinner is built as a multi-course collaborative guest chef tasting experience focused on contemporary Thai culinary traditions. Kalaya is the host restaurant, with Langbaan and AngloThai joining for a single-night collaboration in Philadelphia. The format is specific: a restaurant-based Thai dinner rather than a general reception, class, or festival program.
The event name and description identify the three participating restaurants directly: Kalaya, Langbaan and AngloThai. That makes the central draw the combination of these three restaurant teams in one dinner format.
The restaurant lineup connects Kalaya in Philadelphia, Langbaan in Portland and AngloThai in London. Kalaya is also the venue for the dinner, so the Philadelphia restaurant is both participant and host. Langbaan and AngloThai are identified as visiting Thai restaurants within the collaboration, giving the dinner a three-restaurant structure rather than a single-chef takeover.
Named participants include Chutatip "Nok" Suntaranon, chef and owner of Kalaya; Akkapong "Earl" Ninsom, chef and owner of Langbaan; John Chantarasak, chef and co-owner of AngloThai; and Desiree Chantarasak, sommelier and co-owner of AngloThai. The named roles cover both kitchen leadership and wine service through AngloThai’s sommelier co-owner.
The dinner takes place at Kalaya, a restaurant at 4 W Palmer St in Philadelphia. It is scheduled as an evening event at Kalaya, with the factual timing handled separately on the page. For planning, the key location detail is that the collaboration is hosted at Kalaya rather than at an off-site venue.
