Fellow Chefs,
For those of us lucky enough to spend the day at Thali in New Canaan, it was an eye opener to a unique culture and cuisine. Chef/Owner Prasad Chirnomula delighted our palates as we experienced a broad array of ingredients and cooking techniques.
Prasad’s modest demeanor and obvious talent demands respect which he has proven over and over again from the start up of many successful restaurants to his new adventures in New Haven, he continues to prove why he is a force in the industry. We thank him for sharing his knowledge, time and heart with us.
2008 was a very special year as we traveled to many new places, meeting interesting, passionate people and attending meaningful educational seminars, for which we have all become more knowledgeable professionals. As our CCC fiscal year draws to a close, many of us will be gearing up for a new season of challenges and culinary excellence.
