What you all heard from the news about my resignation is TRUE. I resigned as chef of Gaggan restaurant, effective 24 Jun 2019. I’m still business partner of the company. The condition of my resignation is still under reviewing between me and my partners. Next meeting is end of Jul after I come back from family trip in Europe. I was hurted and too tired. But I will make sure that, whatever the result, all Gaggan family will be well taken care. When I say “family”, it’s my staff, my customers and all my fans included. I love ❤️ u all I will update everything when the right time comes. Ps: I have to look for a new job soon 😂 😆 😝 #theworlds50best #gaggan #hugmeismelllikecurry #getwetbkk

“Ovo što na vijestima čujete o mojoj ostavci je istina. Odlazim s pozicije chefa restorana Gaggan 24. lipnjem 2019. Ostat ću poslovni partner u kompaniji. S partnerima još pregovaram o uvjetima odlaska. Idući sastanak imamo krajem srpnja, kad se vrtim s obiteljsko putovanja po Europi., ” napisao je Gaggan Anand na svom Instagram profilu. O razlozima ostavke nije puno elaborirao. “Bio sam povrijeđ i umoran. Ali pobrinut ću se da bez obzira na ishod ovoga cijela Gagganova obitelj bude zbrinuta. Kad kažem obitelj, mislim na svoj staff, svoje goste pa i svoje fanove. Volim vas sve. Pravovremeno ću vas obavještavati o svemu.” Na kraju posta, Gaggan je dodao “Ps. Uskoro ću morati tražiti novi posao.”

So here we start a countdown to extinction…. next 1 year June 2019 to June 2020 all we will do is express our madness, our craziness our art from heart .. and not be a pretender “What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender?”- #foofighters 1. I might sound rude but I won’t take photographs of me with u in gaggan – I am the director not the hero, my food is my hero that deserves more attention, if I cross path somewhere outside my work yes there absolutely as many pics u want but not when I work, u can take my photos working .. 2. This 1 year period I will highly emotional, highly nostalgic .. I am committing a suicidal step of closing my Restaurnt what I call is peak of my career as gaggan .. 3. Will create atleast 3 more menus.. the most expressive, most progressive, most fun and most sensual, and definitely it will be a matter of taste 4. It’s not the end but the beginning of what’s best for me and my team .. 5. Will dedicate my next 12 months to write and photograph the book of my life .. and dream to launch it free on the last day of gaggan .. 6. Lastly if u haven’t come to gaggan this is the time … for u to #Come as you are, as you were As I want you to be As a friend, as a friend As an known enemy”- #nirvana 7. @rydoanton89 my boy my prodigy give him my handover and he will take over and I assure he is better than me, way better I am nothing without him by my side #gaggan #getwetbkk #hugmeismelllikecurry #theworlds50best #asia50best

Gaggan Anand potpuno je preokrenuo poziciju azijske kuhinje u svjetskoj gastronomiji. Rođeni Indijac, slavan je postao u Bangkoku, nakon što je 2010. otvorio restoran Gaggan. Indijski chef svojom je jedinstvenom estetikom i energijom inspirirao tisuće chefova u Aziji i cijelom svijetu,natjerao gastronomske centre moći da se suoče s diskriminacijom azijskih kuhinja, u kuhinji u Bangkoku primio stotine stažista i tko zna koliko puta proputovao svijet promovirajući otvoreno, inteligentno kuhanje kao moćnu platformu za afirmaciju svih svjetskih kultura hrane i talenata. Gaggan iduće se godine zatvara kako bi se chef Gaggan Anand posvetio novim projektima, od kojih je najvažniji restoran u Japanu. 

Naravno, društvene mreže su se zapalile od nagađanja o Gagganovim problemima, od priča da je ogorčen razočaravajućim plasmanima na listi World’s 50 Best Restaurants do konceptualnih neslaganja s partnerima oko daljnjeg razvoja biznisa. Što god bilo, svjetska gastronomija dosta gubi zatvaranjem Gaggana. No, sudeći po dosadašnjim iskustvima s Gagganom, vjerujemo da će se ovaj neumorni chef brzo reinventati.
