"It’s heartening to know that a restaurant like Ahan, which shifted from a mobile kitchen to a takeout-centric pandemic pop-up of sorts, can not only survive but settle in, thrive — even expand. You’ll now find Ahan on Williamson Street, run by the dynamic duo of Jamie and Chuckie Brown-Soukaseume, chef and general manager respectively. From noodles and soups to dumplings and fried chicken, Jamie’s homey and deeply informed recipes have earned her numerous accolades, most recently Madison magazine’s Chef of the Year for 2024." - Kyle Nabilcy
