2025 has been another tough year for hospitality workers and business owners, but one of today's guest says he's feeling optimistic for the future. 

Sid Sahrawat is an award-winning chef behind Cassia and The French Café in Auckland. 

It's been a big year for Sid. Earlier in the year he hosted a tour to India, and he's already sold out the 2026 tour. 

Throughout October he's been serving a specially designed menu in celebration of Diwali.
