It is an undisputed fact that many young chefs dream of one day opening their own restaurants. The years spent toiling in someone else’s kitchen provide useful building blocks and learning tools, but equally, these years are spent gaining knowledge and accumulating a wide arsenal of information about setting up on their own.
Like a lot of his peers, chef Vicneswara Thenamirtham, better known as Vic, also had a dream of one day having his own F&B venture. After gaining nearly a decade’s worth of experience in eateries as diverse as TGIF, The Social, Vin’s and Manja and climbing up the ladder at each job, he realised the time was ripe for him to strike out on his own. So six months ago, he opened Two Hands, his first restaurant. While Vic is the creative force behind the restaurant, he also roped in former colleague Melinder Dhaliwal as marketing director.
