Dubai: On November 3, modern men will rule the kitchen for a day in celebration of "International Men Make Dinner Day".

To mark the occasion, stand-up comedian and online influencer Pawan Manghnani will hold a culinary showdown at Dusit Thani Dubai with two other Dubai residents for an exclusive cooking class at PAX Ristorante and Lounge, Dusit Thani Dubai’s Italian restaurant. 

“We want to dare Pawan along with all the men who matter in the bustling city of Dubai to play a role in the kitchen and make someone feel special, may it be the their parents, spouse, partner, children, best friend, neighbour or even a stranger,” said Subarna Thapa, Food and Beverage Manager of Dusit Thani Dubai.

The trio will be closely mentored by executive chef Antonello Manca, guaranteeing a superb dinner for themselves and the special person they chose to cook for.  

Celebrated every first Thursday of November, Men Make Dinner day aims to unleash the potentials of men who have never tried cooking or are overwhelmed by kitchen duties.
