A lot of celebrities have recently entered the culinary scene of our country. While many have criticized them, citing that minimal knowledge about the business and amateurish attitude can hamper the entire industry.

However, Chef Pawan Bist, with years of experience in the food scene, begs to differ. He says that though plenty of people brag about traveling far and wide to understand the essence of a particular dish, it is not practically possible for each and every chef to travel all across the world in order to perfect their skills and master various cuisines. Thus, these celebs help bring the world to restaurant-goers as they have years of experience in tasting different kinds of foods due to their profession.

For instance, Virat Kohli, who has recently opened a restaurant in the capital, curated a part of the menu. And, thus, the menu consists of some of his favorite pan-Asian dishes. Same goes for Badshah who also has involvement in a restaurant in the city.
