The Insatiable Gourmand

 When it comes to food we all have our own perceptions and ideologies. Some like it plain and simple and some like it to be extravagant. But despite of our thinking, we all can agree on one fact that food attracts everyone. And the most attractive part about food is the restaurant and hotel industry. This industry has been around for many years and it always seems to capture the attention of the outsiders. People always want to get into restaurant industry because they think it’s #glamorous. But all that glitters isn’t gold. Restaurants and hotels have always been one of the main parameters to evaluate the growth potential of a region. If a region has good restaurants, then it means that the people there are prospering. But why does this industry seem to lucrative? (For simplicity, I will be referring to restaurants predominantly as they are more famous than hotels in my opinion) Let’s find out: 1. Restaurants are Glamorous- As I had previously mentioned, people find restaurants ve...

As we all are getting aware of our health, we are learning more and more about how to reach our optimal weight. Some people just quit everything, in order to lose weight. But this approach is not only barbaric, but it's also hazardous. The harm this does is way more than the good it does for our bodies. I have recently started working on achieving my goal weight and it's absolutely not the way which we are all familiar with. I will be sharing my experience with dieting and losing weight. So sit back and enjoy the easiest way to lose weight. 1. Don't stop eating altogether- This is the biggest misconception about dieting. Whenever we hear the word diet, we resonate it with no eating and couldn't be more wrong. Dieting is about eating healthy, eating fresh fruits and vegetables and eating all these in moderate proportions. Eating healthy is very important as it helps in preventing many problems like High Blood Pressure, Obesity etc. 2. Avoid sweets or sugary produc...

We Indians, like overwhelming food. It doesn't matter if it's overwhelmed by just one huge dish or many small dishes, whether it's cheese or chocolate. We like to experiment with our food, that's true. But what else we like is a good and hearty platter. Recently, I tried a few platters from different places and they sure were delicious in their own way. This is a VEG PLATTER at MOB, CP and it had all the flavors of India. It had Dahi Ke Kebabs, Soya Chaap, and many other things. They were full of herbs and spices. Each dish had a unique taste, and that's what I was aiming at. It was a complete meal for a single person. But as far as the concept of a platter goes, it was far from enough for 2 people. Maybe that's what they need to work on. Otherwise, it was a great platter. Next, I tried International Veggie Platter at  Ambrosia Bliss, CP . It had all the subtleties of an international dish but still had some Indian touch to it. The way they wer...

"Eat clean to stay fit; have a burger to stay sane". This saying goes for all the millennials today. We all love a tasty, delicious burger. That smooth patty which just melts on your tongue, as soon as it enters your mouth sure gives an ultimate experience. Those soft buns which make a crunchy noise as you press them and make sure the whole burger fits in your mouth, that is what a great burger is about. This was one of the burgers i tried recently at Smoke House Deli , DLF Promenade, Vasantkunj and it was one to remember. It's name was SHD Double Cottage Cheese Burger and it was a huge burger and the patty was the highlight. It was soft, juicy and full of flavors, which just oozed out as soon as i pressed the burger. The veggies were fresh, the onion ring on top was really crispy and delicious and the fries along with them were equal in size and seasoned to perfection. It's a must have for all the vegetarians. Other amazing burger joints are Johnny Rockets...
