Floyd’s passing in 2020 was a loss to them both professionally and personally. He left a legacy of passion for his craft and his heritage.“Everything I put on my menu is not created from my head. It's all created from my heart. It's related to an experience I've had in the past, something I've eaten in the past, something I've seen in India. So everything I do has a story attached to it,” Floyd Cardoz on The Restaurant Guys 2005BioFloyd Cardoz was born in India and received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry before exploring culinary school and moving to New York City in 1988.
