‘Dining out has evolved rapidly; food biggest way of entertainment’

The Hindu  

Dining out on payday or celebrating a birthday to eating out regularly now is part of a fast evolved food scene in the country. The duo was sharing their thoughts in the session titled ‘The Joy of Food’, moderated by Prabalika M. Borah, Senior Assistant Editor at The Hindu, Hyderabad. Both Ms. Prabhu and Ms. Devidayal agreed that molecular gastronomy, the art and science of selecting, preparing, serving and enjoying food, as a trend was not needed in India. Even inexpensive food can give joy, but then fine dining brings unique cuisines. Even street food — Panipuri, Vada pav and Bun Maska give joy,” Ms. Prabhu and Ms. Devidayal agreed.
