WINDY CITY WAS HOME
Chef Traimas grew up working in his parents’ Thai restaurant
outside Chicago. He was also a sous chef at a Kimpton
hotel in downtown Chicago before being promoted to
executive chef in Vero. He graduated in his hometown from
Kendall College’s Culinary Arts Program.
Traimas was recently invited to the prestigious James Beard
House to “perform and prepare” multi-course meals as a visiting
chef. It has been a meteoric rise for the 30-year-old chef
who spent 2 1/2 years studying criminology before switching
career paths. Since he arrived one year ago at Cobalt, Traimas
has completely revamped the breakfast and lunch menus as
he monitors what sells and sometimes what disappears from
the menu.
“We do everything from scratch and use local organic
sustainable products wherever possible. All of our meat is
natural and hormone free. We bake our own house breads,”
he said.
The flatbread of the day could be chicken sriracha, bacon,
mozzarella, aioli and onion. Or there is the Ahi Tuna Tartare, >>
