A US Senate candidate’s controversial tweet about “third world migrants” got a befitting response from Indian Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna.

Taking up the challenge, Khanna detailed his achievements over the years while replying to Witzke’s tweet. “Being a recipient of highest awards from Eleanor Roosevelt Award to Benjamin Franklin Award to Game Changers to Michelin Star to James Beard Nom to Oscar Eligibility 2020 to ‘The Hottest Chef in NY’ to being on the cover of @nytimes and many publications to cooking for 3 PRESIDENTS,” he tweeted.
