For some, it’s as straightforward as breathing; for others, it’s multidimensional time travel. The creative process is, at once, a journey and a destination, with happy accidents and more.
Alex Sanchez is a chef and restaurateur, originally from San Francisco. Having set-up The Table when he was 26, he has come back with his own restaurant in 2019 – Americano, at Kala Ghoda, Mumbai. He is celebrated for his refined, approachable cooking and his commitment to quality. He is inarguably a trendsetter recognized for creating one-of-a-kind dining experiences and setting new standards in hospitality. For him, envisioning and creating Americano was a really immersive journey that allowed him to graduate from being a craftsman to showcasing his artistry. He takes us through the various layers, iterations, and the painstaking attention to detail that led to Americano opening its doors in March 2019 – bringing an international dining experience to South Bombay.
