To support women making moves in traditionally male-dominated fields, Ford is spotlighting trailblazers like chef and restaurateur, who puts her own spin on Southeast Asian cuisine and the"power suit" she wears on the job.Growing up in a small town in northern Thailand, Suchanan Aksornnan loved her grandmother's cooking, especially her curry chicken.
As a boss, the chef-in-training's mother gave her no special treatment. In fact, she actually fired Aksornnan from the restaurant after catching her scooping pineapple chunks from a can with her hand rather than a spoon. On any given day, Aksornnan, now 32, can be found cooking in the kitchen, greeting customers or taking care of any problems–big or small–that arise."I live one block from the restaurant, which is a plus," she says."If someone doesn't show up for work or there's an issue, I will be there. Owning a business is a 24/7 job."
