Chef Ranveer Brar romances the metros in his latest OTT show

CHEF & THE CITY

Chef Ranveer Brar has gone Cite caine the foodscape of countries like Australia and opening restaurants in places like Boston. But he has also gone deep— traversing the interiors of the country through his shows like Station Master’s Tiffin, where he journeyed through India in trains. The intrepid food adventurer has shown that he can tango equally well with the classes and the masses.

And he proves it once again with his latest show, Dum Laga Ke India, a four-episode mini-series on Disney+Hotstar, where he takes us to the culinary strongholds of four cities—Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bengaluru. He samples the culture and cuisine of each city, both through celebrities from the city as well as locals who represent its quintessence. The common factor? A dish that is probably the country’s greatest cultural superpower: biryani. Every episode finishes with Brar sharing biryani with the celebrity—actor Vaani Kapoor in Mumbai, badminton champion PV. Sindhu in Hyderabad, singer Armaan Malik in Kolkata and actor Pranita Subhash in Bengaluru.
