Finery Collaboration with Chef Arnold Myint | Chef Shirt

From the moment we met Arnold aka Suzy Wong, we totally fell in love. The entire Finery family loved everything about him and put their heart and soul in designing an anti-chef shirt uniform for him that not only functioned well in the kitchen, but also in front of the camera. 

But even more special was that he sent us his mother’s Thai silks to incorporate into his shirts as a way to pay homage to her legacy. 

Arnold Myint is a James Beard Award nominated chef and  grew up in his family's restaurant, International Market, in Nashville TN which opened in 1975. With a career change from professional figure skater and drag queen (aka Suzy Wong) to chef, Arnold has been seen on multiple cooking competition shows including Top Chef and Food Network Star.  He is a former culinary instructor, operates the family restaurant with his sister, and is a Culinary Advisor to the Royal Thai Ministry of Commerce where he advocates and promotes Thai food and culture. Chef Arnold is a contributor on many media platforms with features for Epicurious, Saveur, and Eater as well as a content creator for Tastemade and Buzzfeed.  Additionally, Chef Arnold works with many non-profits that focus on food insecurities within his community. Some of them being Nashville Launchpad, which offers street free shelter for LGBTQ+ Youth, The Store, a dignified grocery store shopping experience, and Nashville Food Project.
