Massimo Bottura

Word comes in that next month will see none other than 3-star Michelin Chef Massimo Bottura flying into India for the first time for a pop-up in Mumbai, hosted jointly by jeweller Nirav Modi and an international travel glossy. To be held at a mid-city hotel, sources say that the pop-up, part of the magazine's on-going property 'Hot Tables', was initially supposed to have taken place at a five-star in SoBo. "There were also talks of Bottura cooking at Antilia for a few select guests," says a source, "But that is not on the cards now."
