    Ep 18 - Chef Manu Chandra’s Secret Sauce: Passion, Talent and Attention to Detail

    “I’m not arrogant, I’m honest,” Chef Manu Chandra says in this powerful episode of #SayAgain with Amrita Tripathi. He doesn’t pull his punches in this conversation, either, saying he refuses to read Zomato reviews, decrying the headless chicken approach many are taking when it comes to ‘food influencers’ or negative reviews. He takes us through how he wants to inculcate and invest in talent, and how perfectionism is the name of the game. We talk about Chef Chandra’s epic career and all the awards and accolades along the way including the latest love for his European restaurant LUPA in Bengaluru. But it’s not the awards or accolades that matter, Chef Chandra says—it’s what his customers take away from their fine dining experience. We also surprise him with some high praise, with a shout-out to Maria Goretti (do check out Episode 3 of this podcast for her candid conversation too). Join us as Chef Chandra shares his foundational principles, high standards, and what actually drives him to achieve all that he has. And don’t forget to leave us some love and comments on social!
