Bhaichand Patel

Bhaichand Patel is an Indian writer, columnist and novelist, who is best known for his witty and acerbic pieces in various reputed newspapers and magazines. Not only is he a columnist but also prides himself on being a major foodie. He devotes his time to seeing out as many restaurants, pubs and bars as he can find, so as to review them. He is similarly passionate about travel and is well-known for his engaging and humorous takes on his journeys to New York, Caracas, Cairo, Manila, Jerusalem, Fiji, New Delhi and Bombay: all of which he maintains are his home.

He also prides himself on his extensive knowledge of wine and spirits, partly because he spent as much time at bars as he did behind them in his stint as bartender, and also because he took the bar and is a celebrated lawyer with a degree from the London School of Economics.
