Quotes
Chef Ajit Bangera
The man at the helm of FIRO in Chennai.
“I had a great learning from American theme parks. The details there—the way they create an experience—are perfection. It taught me to think about small details. If a dish makes your fingers oily, we must give you a cloth to wipe them. If food is served hot, it must reach the guest hot. If it looks beautiful in the kitchen, it must also look beautiful when the waiter brings it to the table.”

“What do you mean by authenticity? Something that was tried and tested at one point, someone did it the first time. At that time, it was not authentic. Every chef has the right to evolve, to change, to make it better. Food is evolving all the time and it will keep evolving.”
