Rocky and Mayur have done it again! They found another TV show concept which makes us all envy them. “Highway on My Plate” is all about traveling over India when the main destinations are not those you would expect to find in some travel book but delicious restaurants, Dhabas and small market food shops. This is a culinary ride in pursuit of the incredible tastes that India has to offer.
The most beautiful part about the show is that Rocky and Mayur appreciate food even when it is not made in a fancy restaurant in the big metropolises. On the contrary, they take us to the unexpected zone! This is the surprise factor in the show: beauty can be found even when it is handed in a swamp – just like the Lotus.
On their journey we are being introduced not only to the dishes – which, by the way, are all over the screen – but also to the people who make them. It looks like Rocky and Mayur find this very special themselves: “This is the main reason why we are doing this”, said Rocky, ”you get out all across the country meet wonderful people, you discover food, perhaps like you never ate before, and this makes it so incredible”.
We couldn’t think of a better cast to discover India’s culture via food than Rocky and Mayur. They are approaching the subject of food and cuisine with such a grace and humour that is so different from the many “dry” food shows we commonly watch on TV.
From time to time we witness some brilliant spontaneous observations they make even without noticing, such as: ”You know what Bhai, I found out that the best food in India is near the rail stations or the bus stations...” – this observation Mayur has made when he was eating and dancing in Bhoj, Gujarat, perfectly matches the poet’s famous phrase: ”heaven is for the traveler”.
