From humble beginnings to leading authority.

At just 17 years old, Ian Purkayastha moved to New York City to pursue his dream of supplying truffles to some of the greatest restaurants in the world. Building on his early success, he started Regalis Foods to become the city’s leading authority for truffles and rare edibles.

Today, with partners David Your​d​ and Karrie Kimble, Regalis Foods​ has grown to be one of the country’s most respected luxury food curators. Dedicated to​sourcing​some of nature’s rarest tastes, Regalis imports truffles from seven different countries, has created their own truffle product and caviar line, and offers an impressive portfolio of wild edibles and luxury goods.

Forklift works with Regalis to create even more buzz with both top chefs and industry influencers alike, helping to make it one of the nation’s brightest culinary stars.
