Pichet Ong (pee-shay, born October 28, 1969) is a 5 times James Beard Award nominated chef who specializes in desserts.^[1] As a self-taught chef with no formal training Chef Ong is best known for pioneering savory techniques and forgoing the heavy use of sugar in his desserts.^[2] Ong mixes classic technique and whimsical culinary style which are inspired by his heritage and local ingredients.^[3]

Three times awarded three stars by the New York Times, he made his career breakthrough as pastry chef for Jean-Georges Vongerichten from 1998 to 2004, opening several of Vongerichten's^[who?] restaurants, including Spice Market.^[4] In 2007 he opened P*ONG^[5] in New York City, where he applied his sweet and savory approach to cooking across the menu, starting a gastronomic trend that was captured by The New York Times, Elle, O, the Oprah Magazine, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine. In 2008 he opened a bakery called Batch next door to the restaurant.^[6] Both closed in 2009. Also in 2009 Chef Ong opened The Village Tart and Spot Dessert Bar, which was the first dessert only restaurant to be reviewed by The New York Times.^[7]

Beginning in 2010 Ong consulted for major international brands including Holland America, Häagen-Dazs, So Sofitel, Salt in Dubai, and Max Brenner in Australia.^[8] From 2012 to 2013 he was a judge on the Food Network cooking competition show, Sugar Dome.^[9]

In 2015 Ong emerged in the Washington D.C. culinary scene where he opened several celebrated restaurants in the metropolitan area.^[10] In 2019 he garnered a double James Beard Award nomination with Best New Restaurant and Outstanding Pastry Chef with his acclaimed cakes.^[11] In 2019 Ong collaborated with chef Peter Chang on a modern Chinese restaurant in Baltimore called Nihao where he took the reign as Executive Chef.^[12] Nihao landed on many of the year's 'best lists' including the Washington Post and Esquire Magazine.^[13]
