About us

Katherine Aphaivongs, or Chef Kat, was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, to an American mother and a Thai father. She is a serial entrepreneur with experience in insurance, e-commerce, and her latest venture with the successful City Skyline – American Diner in Bangkok, Thailand.

Chef Kat moved to Louisville, Kentucky, in June of 2017 to be closer to her mother. Her passion for food has led her to continue in the food and beverage industry, thus, starting All Thai'd Up. After hands on experience teaching clients how to cook Thai food in their own homes, Chef Kat saw bigger potential at growing the business into a full service restaurant while maintaining the personal touch of in-home teaching opportunities. 

 Given the turn of events, and the global pandemic, Chef Kat has now realized All Thai'd Up would best be represented as a business casual, full service, dine-in restaurant at 4812 Brownsboro Center, in the east end of Louisville, Kentucky.
