Houston: Michelin star celebrity chef Vikas Khanna has been ranked amongst the top 10 global chefs in the world by Gazette Review, becoming the only Indian chef who has made it to the prestigious list.
The Gazette Review ranked Khanna sixth, with British chef Gordan Ramsey leading the list.
The 50-year-old Amritsar born and New York-based Khanna is known for taking Indian cuisine across the globe map. He is the only Indian origin chef who has made it to the list.
Khanna, who also wears other caps including that of being a writer, filmmaker and philanthropist, took to social media on Tuesday, May 31.
“Humbled to be in 2022 ‘TOP 10 CHEFS IN THE WORLD’ – The Best in 2022 by Gazette Review. Humbled to be in the company of some of my mentors,” he wrote on Instagram.
