Lex Chutintaranond was born and raised in Thailand. He came to the US in his teens and obtained his Undergraduate & Masters Degree in Computer Engineering. After working for IBM for many years, Lex decided his passion was in the kitchen. In 1988 he opened his first restaurant, Thai Cuisine. The restaurant is now run by his younger brother, and is considered by many to offer the best Thai food in New York.
In 1991, Lex opened Just a Taste, a small wine & tapas restaurant located in downtown Ithaca with a friendly, casual atmosphere, and a focus on affordable food & wine. In 1994, it was sold to the restaurant's head chef and is still one of the most popular restaurants in town. In 1998, Lex transformed a downtown Ithaca food court into an amazing upscale Euro-Asian restaurant called Madeline's, which he since sold to his manager in 2006.
