We arrived in Bangkok on Saturday afternoon, and Robert told me he made reservations for us to go to a bar in Bangkok’s upscale Pathum Wan District. As we walked down the block that the bar was supposedly on, we passed Gaggan, the number one ranked restaurant in Asia. We had watched a fascinating episode of Chef’s Table about the chef and the creative things he was doing in his 2 Michelin star restaurant. I was confused when Robert stopped in front of the restaurant, until he told me we were actually going to eat dinner there and the bar was just a ruse for the surprise to celebrate my graduation from Penn. Our three hour, 25 course meal was one of the best of my life. We were seated at the 12-person counter, where everyone has a front-row view to an amazing show. Chef Gaggan Anand vividly told us stories from his life and about his native India as he served us intricate bite-sized morsels bursting with flavor. Here are some of my favorites: For an inside look at the restaurant and the chef, check out Chef’s Table Season 2 Episode 6 on Netflix. And if you want to try it, go soon because the restaurant’s days are numbered.
