| Have Mercy !! THE HEART-POUNDER ! |
So let me tell you how I came across this work of art, I like to call it the Mona Lisa of the food world! And for this wonder I really need to thank one of my very best friends and partner in crime, Manav Sud.
So the day started with me and Manav being extremely bored at college, since we had no classes and all that we were doing is making fun of the stupidest things sitting in the classroom. To give you some background Manav and me commute together while coming to college and going back home. Manav drops me at a bus stop from where I take the bus to my home.
Now when I am bored, I get extremely restless and very hungry. The situation was quite similar that day as well. I went up to Manav and asked him whether he had some plan after college and would he like to indulge in some good food. After a lot of pondering and reviewing our financial standing(Our wallets) and consulting our financial advisers(Each other). We unanimously decided to go out and explore some new food. Now came the tricky part and this happens every single time with us, We cant seem to decide what to explore or what do we want to eat. After a long discussion we finally reached a consensus that we will go to Chili's, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, for it was close to where Manav stays. We went inside and sat down and since Manav is a regular at Chili's, the first thing that he does, is order 2 mugs of Bottomless Coke which is priced at a very reasonable Rs.75/-. For the people who don't know what the bottomless drinks concept is, what you do is pay a fixed amount and then you can drink as many mugs as humanely possible(Awesome Right...?).
By now I was starving and was desperately at the menu card which Manav was hogging despite of being a regular at the place. Finally it was my chance to choose as our mugs of bottomless cokes came along. I looked at the menu and a whole new world opened it's arms to engulf me in it's beauty. I wanted to have everything on the menu, but I could not. I had to decide on something, I just had to. After going over the menu maybe 4 times and very consciously trying to stop my mouth from watering and overflowing, I finally ordered the BBQ Ranch Burger with Extra Bacon priced at Rs.350 + Rs.50 for extra bacon. Now what this burger is made up of is, Seasoned and Grilled Tenderloin patty topped with Cheddar Cheese, BBQ Sauce, Smoked Bacon, Ranch Dressing, Shredded Lettuce, Tomato and Pickle. I impatiently tapped my feet and read over the ingredients over and over again. At this moment I was so lost that Manav's existence right across the table had ceased to exist for me. Finally the Burger came, I thought my heart skipped a beat. In all its glory and beauty rested in a small wicker serving basket with a large helping of fries. I looked at it and then looked at Manav and then at the burger again. I picked it up, it fit like a glove, as if it was destined to be devoured by me. I took the first bite, and then for a few moments I was lost, I don't remember what kinda noise I made, but with Manav saying, "I don't know this guy!!", I figured it was something very inappropriate. The burger is extremely filling and is good for one whole meal. It tastes like a rainbow in your mouth and is extremely well cooked. Kudos to the Chef's at Chili's.
The total Price of my meal was Rs. 575(Inclusive of taxes). But i'll say that it is totally worth every single penny spent. For the readers who like bacon but beef is a big NO NO, you can choose the chicken variant of the same BBQ Ranch Burger. And for all the vegetarian readers, you can choose from a varied range of vegetarian burgers which might provide you with the same satisfaction that this burger did to me.
Till my next adventure, keep eating and keep loving, But always remember, It's All About Food, Love !
