Chef Sri is the most decorated Indian chef cooking in the US today. He is the executive chef at Taj Campton Place in San Francisco since 2008 where he earned two Michelin stars and 3.5 stars from the San Francisco Chronicle. He is also the co-owner of the highly acclaimed Ettan, a Cal-Indian cuisine restaurant in Palo Alto. Sri attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York and honed his craft at the Michelin two-star Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in England, where he finessed his repertoire in classical European techniques.

His secret sauce is blending East and West sensibilities, combining the flavors of the east with a distinctive western flair to create culinary magic. Here at Sempera, he is working on the future of food based on fungi. He has no shortage of willing taste-testers to be sure.
