Karb is my dear friend from Thailand who is a famous food stylist in Thailand.
He and his 3 other friends came to visit me in Chicago this past fall.
Come tour Chicago with us at the Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. Enjoy visual tour through my personal photo album at the Bengtson's Pumpkin Farm in Homer Glen. The farm was voted the best Pumpkin Farm in Chicago by My Fox Chicago. Plus, a special bonus photo album of Karb visiting Khun Arun's lakeshore condo in Chicago, a must-see rare coverage.

About Khun Suthipong Suriya or Karb
He grew up in Nong Khai, where his family runs a restaurant. He developed his artistic and culinary talents with Kuru To, ML Jirathorn Jiraprawat, a very famous food stylist and columnist in Thailand. Now he’s on his own creating stylish and appetizing culinary delights. He is the owner of Karb’s Studio, a townhouse that he turned into an orange colored workspace to create his edible art. His work has been published in countless magazines.
Karb on The Nation
Suthipong Suriya is teaching Thai cooks how to make their food look superbly stylish and appetizing. Food styling has come late to Thailand, and even today it's not fully appreciated by many restaurateurs and food lovers. Still, Suthipong Suriya, or "Karb" as he's known to family and friends, is out to change all that with his newly opened Karb Studio.
His mission is to teach people that there's more to food than just cooking and serving it. "Food styling is like interior design. It's an art that requires both knowledge of cooking and food design. It should be pleasing to the palate and the eye,'' he says.
Khun Arun graciously invited Karb and his friends to his lakeshore condo in Chicago.
The condo is just a step away from lake Michigan and it's beautiful sand beach.

I am very impressed with the hand-painted mural by the hallway.
I LOVE this chinese dragon.

The talented artist behind this mural art is P'Noi, Khun Arun's brother.
