Chef Chele Gonzalez collaborates with Haōma BBK’s Deepanker Khosla at Gallery By Chele Both chefs are superstars in global cuisines, but also staunch sustainability advocates, who work closely with farmers to explore and elevate food possibilities beyond cooking and eating, but also food production and the welfare of farmers. Happening tonight, Aug. 26, at chef Chele Gonzalez’s fine dining restaurant Gallery by Chele at BGC in Taguig is the first of a two-night dinner affair he and Michelin-starred chef Deepanker Khosla, more fondly known as Chef DK, of Michelin-starred Bangkok sensation Haōma BBK are collaborating on.

This comes at the heels of a successful collaboration between the two chefs in Bangkok. More than a dinner, what’s to happen tonight and tomorrow is the joining of forces for good. Both chefs are superstars in global cuisines, but also staunch sustainability advocates, who work closely with farmers to explore and elevate food possibilities beyond cooking and eating, but also food production and the welfare and the future of farmers.

What’s to happen tonight, which other top caliber chefs of Manila have been looking forward to since Chele, putting on his DJ hat (he was a DJ by profession before he became a cook), threw a club party over the weekend at Dr. Wine at BGC as a grand welcome gesture for Chef DK, is an eight-course culinary journey through the diversity of Indian and Asian flavors with a focus on sustainability and responsible cooking.
