This was your first time in Hyderabad. How was your experience?
I’ve really enjoyed it. I visited a few cocktail bars, which were amazing — I’m a big fan of mixology competitions, so that was fun. The food scene here is fantastic too. I tried biryani and went to a few brunch places. I definitely ate a lot and loved every bit of it!
Will you come back to Hyderabad?
Yes, I hope so. I’ve been told that next time the pop-up might be in Bengaluru, and I’d love to explore more of India. Right now, it’s a busy season at our restaurant, and I’ll also be travelling to Milan and Dubai, but I’d love to return.
What does food mean to you?
For me, food is everything. It’s been my life — my obsession — until my daughter and wife came along. Food is part of my everyday life, and I always strive to make it contemporary, creative, and meaningful.
