CELEBRATING WOMEN: CHEF’S DINNER
SARANYA HUBBARD
SWORDFISH TOM’S
Born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, Saranya Hubbard first started bartending in 2017 in the craft cocktail bar, Ku Bar in Bangkok. Ku Bar was voted as an “Asia 50 Best Bar” in 2018, and Saranya was grateful to begin her cocktail journey at such a respected and educational bar. A skilled and dedicated worker, Saranya soon became the Head Bartender at Ku Bar, overseeing operations and the cocktail program. During this time, she also worked as a food stylist in Bangkok. After moving to Kansas City, MO in 2020, she started behind the bar at Swordfish Tom’s and SOT in 2021. Her dream is to open a cocktail bar of her own one day, one that highlights and integrates the Japanese cocktail style.
