Chef Joe Hatch-Surisook and his wife and collaborator Holly focus on people, nourishment, and community through Thai street food. Together, they ran the beloved Thai Restaurant Sen Yai Sen Lek on Central Avenue in Minneapolis for 14 years (along with sister sandwich shop Dipped & Debris). Eater Twin Cities has described their restaurants as “vibrant, essential spaces for people to gather and eat.” Joe was born in Bangkok and grew up helping his mother cook as part of a vibrant Thai community in Chicago, experiences that continue to influence his cooking today. 

Zeitgeist’s mission is to bring newly created music to life with performances that engage and stimulate. A quartet of musicians animated by a spirit of adventure and collaboration, Zeitgeist presents works of substance with passion and integrity, and strives to forge new links between musicians and music lovers through concerts, commissions, recordings, and dialogue with our audiences.
