Young Guns Dinner At QLA
Serving wine and food and inviting special guest chefs to collaborate for a special pop seems to be the new trend catching up in the capital this January. The second one this time was at Qla!

S Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 South East Asia - Jake Kellie with his beverage director Dylan Lambuschagne flew down to India to join hands with Chef Priyam Chatterjee, Executive Chef at QLA and Prateek Arora, resident beverage expert and CEO.
First off, we were all seated in the alfresco area, in order to begin the mood just right and probably connect with people we know, or even did not. I love this kind of social dining! Secondly, I quite liked digging into those tiny and artsy presentations including Smoked Duck Mousse with Parmesan Shortbread along with a Spritzer; perfect for a Delhi winter evening.
The style of food at Burnt Ends is actually different to QLA! The dinner I had was clearly a mix of all the inspiration the team had gathered in both QLA and Burnt Ends. The Leek, Burnt Chive and Caviar were probably my favourite servings and I also loved how they went all French with the Italian ragout of Courgette & Ceps, Pecorino Cream, Pasta Sheet. I could sit all night at the stunning QLA, just soaking in that unique gorgeous vibe. Unfortunately, the restaurant had to shut so they could prepare for service the next day!
