"Chef Ann Ahmed’s Golden Valley restaurant draws from the cuisines of countries that fall along the 14th parallel north, including Thailand, Laos, and the Philippines. Dishes are boldly flavored and thoughtfully presented, with edible flower garnishes and elegant plating. The basil wings have a devoted following, and entree standouts include bacon pineapple fried rice, braised duck ramen, and a tempura-fried whole snapper, among others." - Stacy Brooks
"Lat14 is Ann Ahmed's second restaurant, which delves deeper into lesser-known Southeast Asian dishes like Jaew Bong, jackfruit curry, and Lumpia. Opened 13 years after Lemongrass, it marked a pivotal moment for Ahmed's family to accept her career in the restaurant industry. The restaurant helped change perceptions of Asian cuisine within her community." - Jon Cheng
