It’s time again for another, ever-so helpful audio pronunciation guide from the Weekly. This time, it’s a guide to pronouncing various local chefs names that have likely stumped you, like Chez Spencer/Spencer on the Go chef Laurent Katgely and one we only just last week figured out ourselves, Commis chef James Syhabout (pictured). Below, the guide, as well as the list of names. Update: The handy embeddable audio player went dead over the weekend, but in summary, it’s “See-a-boot,” “Kahj-ly,” “Paul-son” and Myint is pronounced just like it’s spelled.
