foodOlogue! - The Introduction

One of the many surprising things that happened when I was at the Delhi School was my nomination into the cafeteria committee. I asked the director as to how it happened and even he did not know. So the only conclusion I could draw was the perhaps the cognizance of my love for food has spread beyond my social circle and divine interventions were happening.

My take is that, on the whole, food should be value for money. Charging too much for the ambiance doesn't impress. Radical  as my ideas are, this is another genre that I have now decided to venture into and foodOlogue is going to be my mouthpiece about how i see Food around me. In the past five years I have already got my hand and mouth onto food from various places in the city and have liked some not so famous ones and disliked some very famous ones. And now that I have relocated from the north to the south of Delhi for a year (hopefully not more!!) I shall continue my search and exploration into anything that is cognate to food! Well, mostly places that serve awesome food, from small stalls to big restaurants (not too big for lack of resources for now), and occasionally other intricate issues. Two weeks here and I have already a few places in my "to visit" list like - J&K Bhavan for their mutton, Al - Bake for shawarma and Malviya Nagar for kulfi.

So, the agenda is to write about places I have been to and about places I will go to. About experiments with food that I do - both successful and unsuccessful - because as the say "it's a learning experience". The ambition conspicuously is to leave everyone mouthwatering.

For starters, I think it is very important for explorers like me to have a handy food guide. You get to know about amazing places from people in the locality but specially when you are experimenting it's also extremely helpful to have food guide. For NCR my personal favourites are the HT food guide and zomato.com (previously foodiebay.com). 

With that I'd say - "Let the foodzing begin!".
