International Chef’s Day is celebrated on 20th October 2020 every year all over the world. It is observed all over the world as a symbolic day for every chef around the world. Objective of International Chef’s Day is to create awareness about healthy food, promote culinary industry and acknowledge this noble profession of chefs.
This year on 20th October 2020, Karachi Marriott Hotel collaborated with Shangrila Foods and College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM) to celebrate International Chef’s Day in the grandest possible way.
Karachi Marriott Hotel being the venue sponsor was represented at International Chef’s Days by none other than their energetic and charming Hotel Manager Mr. Ansar Yunnos. This makes him in-charge of all the affairs of the property that is called as Karachi Marriott Hotel.
Mr. Ansar Yunnos, Hotel Manager at Karachi Marriott Hotel, welcome all the participants and guests at the International Chef’s Day and when referring to students he called them culinary future of Karachi and Pakistan. He went on to say; “20 years ago I also wanted to be a chef due to the reason that chef put in so much creativity and they make ordinary things into spicy ones”.
Hotel Manager of Karachi Marriott Hotel said; “chefs are the most imaginative and creative people within the culinary world and the way they describe and present their products is exemplary and something that cannot be described in words. I see chefs with their head full of ideas all throughout day and at times they are a source of motivation for me too”.
He further said; “your culinary taste describes a lot about you, as you can evidently see from social-media, food-trending is gaining momentum by every passing day. What we eat, describes a lot about us. If someone tells you that he had ‘beef-steak with mushroom-sauce’ at lunch and other one would say that he had ‘biryani’ at lunch. These two cuisines describe a fair bit about that person”.
On concluding note, he said; “I would like to acknowledge the efforts of current chefs, who are putting in their best effort to bring some spice in our lives and they also by helping the future culinary heroes of our city and our country by training them at professional stage. these chefs spice-up our lives and with spice there is not life”.
