The win is even more special for the 44-year-old as it is his first nomination and win. In an emotional speech that is now going viral on social media, Kumar reflected on his journey towards success, 'When I started cooking, I never thought a dark-skinned boy from Tamil Nadu would make it to a room like this. But the food I grew up on food made with care, with fire, with soul, is now taking the main stage.' He also emphasised the connection between food and culture, reflecting how a culinary creation has the power to connect all. 'There's no such thing as a poor person's food or rich person's food.
