After marrying his Thai wife and years of preparing her family’s cultural foods Jeffrey Story settled his family in Williamston, Michigan, and opened the restaurant, Thai Nation Bistro. Thai Nation, a small bistro with history even better than its food, is located in a small town right outside the capital of Michigan. In 2016, Story and his wife, Jin, brought the original taste of Thailand to the residents of Williamston. “Immediately when you walk in, you can tell the legitimacy of this cultural restaurant,” customer, Amanda Bur
gess, said, “Not only do the decorations resemble that, but things like their website or the menu as well.”
Posted within the restaurant’s website are photos of the owner and his wife with family friends, dressed in authentic Thai clothing, along with various Thai translations of popular words. While both parents of Jin are chefs and Story grew up in the Flint, MI restaurant business, according to Story opening a restaurant was the last career move he wanted to make.
