Indian chef Vikas Khanna reveals what gave him ‘perspective’ on restaurant business. Hint: it’s not his Michelin Star
Live MintCelebrity chef Vikas Khanna has revealed that what gave him ‘perspective’ on his New York restaurant, Bungalow, which recently won the Michelin 2024 Bib Gourmand Award, was not his Michelin star but his beloved late sister Radhika Khanna. On her deathbed, Khanna said, Radhika took a promise from him to “never be like that chef.” “We had great food in that restaurant, but we were made to feel less.” “‘Un-restaurant’ yourself,” she said, adding that the Indian chef was gifted. Khanna shared that his sister wanted him to welcome everyone the way he did when he was a “cook” and never let his chef life make him arrogant. You're gonna show the world!’” Khanna, who was unsure if he wanted Bungalow to be successful or a big one, shared that Radhika wanted it to be a “deeper restaurant.”
