Cold War, which was a towering successful event, was a celebration of dessert & drink pairing with the top hotels in the city. This year chefs from 11 luxury hotels of Bengaluru participated in the event held at the JW Marriott Bangalore, and presented their signature dessert that was paired by the erudite winemaker, Dr. Akshay Baboo. He is a winemaker, researcher, rootstock consultant, and beverage consultant. He has vinified with the biggest names in the European Wine and Hospitality market, and he is the first Indian Oenologue certified by the Chambre d'Agriculture de France (French Agricultural Ministry).

The highlight of the event was all the culinary art presented by the hotels were paired with some innovative and some classic drinks. The dessert & drink degustation was showcased to a tasting panel that consisted of eminent personalities in the food space spearheaded by Chef Manjunath Mural, a Michelin Star Chef from Song of India, Singapore. This was strictly not a competition nor was there any scope of judgments or criticism. It was all in a great tenor to celebrate the love for desserts & drinks where the chefs showcased their best on the table for the audience with a healthy competitive spirit!

Here’s what The Chef Post’s CEO and Co-Founder, Sneha Chandrashekar had to say about the Cold War during the event, "After the wonderful chefs of Bangalore slayed the ramp last September during our launch, we've been busy building our technology, user-base & keeping our chefs engaged. We wanted to begin the year on the sweetest & coolest note possible & thought nothing better than Cold War! We decided on hosting Cold War - an interesting degustation of desserts & drinks where 11 hotels showcased their signature desserts paired with drinks by an erudite winemaker. We're also honoured to have the Michelin star Chef Manjunath Mural who is spearheading the tasting panel for the event."
