ABOUT FOODSUPERSTARS

Eligibility

India’s annual Top 30 Best Chefs celebrates each artiste’s inimitable
approach to gastronomy. There is a single eligibility criterion – whether an Indian or foreign national, the chef has to be currently cooking at a standalone restaurant or hotel kitchen in India. The ranking cannot include consultant chefs who live abroad for the major part of the year.

ABOUT FOODSUPERSTARS

What makes a Food Superstar?

A creative chef cooks incredible food, each plate a consistent reflection of their personality. But, a chef is also a passionate social leader, who educates and inspires, with kitchens that blend concepts of sustainability and science.

Voting:

Step 1

The voting process for the annual rankings of Food Superstars is compiled by an anonymous panel consisting of India’s most passionate foodies, who retain their independence through anonymity.

Step 2

These nominations are further distilled by Culinary Culture’s team, consisting of India’s topmost culinary experts. The final position that each chef is awarded is an absolutely independent, authentically curated ranking.

ABOUT FOODSUPERSTARS

Ethicality

Unlike many other award platforms, FoodSuperstars does not accept a penny from restaurants in any form. There is no charge for being listed. There is no advertising from restaurants. All chefs on the list are flown to the event and put up in hotels at Culinary Culture’s expense.

ABOUT FOODSUPERSTARS

The award

The Food Superstars awards are not for the best restaurants. But, the people veiled in their smoky kitchens. Uniquely, the chef is the recipient of the plaque. It is at their discretion to display at their
restaurant or hotel and carry along with them if they move locations.
