ABOUT CHEF JEHANGIR MEHTA
EXECUTIVE CHEF & OWNER, ME AND YOU
With his amazing performance on The Next Iron Chef, Chef Jehangir Mehta made his name by juxtaposing ingredients, textures and tastes from his native India with flavors from all around the globe. It is his cultural heritage that fills him with endless inspiration, and it all began when Mumbai-born Jehangir took an interest in the goings-on of the kitchen in his childhood home.


REALISTIC Belief 


Focus on the WHY (it’s about Empathy and Compassion), than the WHAT(food is what I create). The reason what I do is to make the world more Understanding towards a broken climate system and food is just one of the mediums of communication I use. 


OPTIMISTIC Belief. Measuring Success of a nation or a member of society should be calculated through GROSS DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
