“I became interested in culinary from the age of 16. I soon decided to get a professional education in this field and entered the Culinary Academy. Immediately after obtaining my diploma, I left for Turkey for getting practical experience.

The first important job was at the restaurant „Zala“, where I was a chef for 2 years from the opening day. Then there was practice in Spain and the Master-chef, which was actually a great experience for me - interacting with the chefs and their feedback helped me a lot in moving forward. Getting into the final really gave me a great stimulus in my career. My life has changed after this show.

I opened the burger restaurant “Burgerboss”, which I dreamed of since childhood. Why a burger? - I think I am very skillful in it, as much as in anything else, and besides I want to offer the best burger in the city to my guests. My near future  plans are related to Georgian cuisine and fusion, which is my favorite topic. I do not exclude going abroad to study and to further deepen my knowledge and technology “- Gaga Vardanidze.
