Let's face it. We all need a Goss King or Queen who would tell us EXACTLY what celebrities, influencers, founders, movers, and shakers have in their little black book. So, we took on the challenge and chatted with 'gastronaut' Vicky Ratnani. Chef Vicky is a household name and unless you absolutely detest food, there's no way you'd not have heard of him. A TV host, author of multiple cookbooks, and of course always cooking up a storm in the kitchen, he was also voted Chef Of The Year by Indian Restaurant Awards in 2015. Currently, Vicky the Chef (that's his Instagram handle by the way) is serving up some delicious burgers at Speak Burgers, Mumbai. His IG feed will make you drool, but there's so much inspiration (food or fashion) to draw from. We caught up with him between assembling burgers and travels to ask what some of his favourite things are. From ceramic to graphic t-shirts, read on to find out a few of his favourite things…
