The journey of Something’s Cooking Culinary Arts, a favorite of the city, will come to an end seven-year after its inception. The head of the company, Satish Venakatachaliah wrote on Facebook.
In a long post on Facebook, Satish announced the bitter news. In what seems like an emotional post, Satish poured his heart out thanking those who have been a part of his and the company’s journey. He thanked,
“Celebrity chefs who were inspired by what we did, the aspiring chefs who were thrilled to dabble in our playground, kids who got enthused to consider cooking as more than just a hobby. The satisfaction of impacting so many lives through a secret ingredient called fun was immense. Everyone who walked into the studio went back with a smile and a happy feeling. I got to meet so many people over the years across all walks of life. Most of the people I met have gone on to be well-wishers and a few have been much more.”
Reliving the early days, Satish recalls the difficulty in finding the business. He said the steps that they took early on – educating the customers, creating value, and delivering more value than the price – helped them build stable and lasting customer relationships. In the journey, Something’s cooking witnessed 85 percent of its customers coming back. This, in turn, led them to attract more companies, groups, and individuals.
Something’s Cooking was a cooking studio that concentrated on team building and cooperation through the art of cooking. It was based around the idea of knowing your colleagues better and having tasty food along the way. This experience was facilitated with world-class equipment, state-of-the-art facilities, and quality ingredients.
The company announced the closure
The seven years journey of Something’s Cooking is all set to come to an end once the lockdown is lifted, With a heavy heart, Satish wrote in his post,
“Seven years. Seven long years later, we will be closing your favorite culinary studio when we come out of the lockdown. Till a vaccine/cure is found, we believe that the norms of social distancing will stay and the precautions around personal protection will only get stringent. Can you imagine, walking into the finest cooking studio wearing a mask, let alone coming in a group to cook together.”
On the question of what next, Satish ends the post on a positive note as he hints at something emerging soon. At the beginning of the post, he sums up the decision of closing the company and the journey of it through a verse from the Bhagavad Gita. He quotes,
