Re: Vada Pavs goes global
Oh this is so simple and brilliant ....how come this hadn't happened before now?
Absolutely - Vada Pav is nothing but a burger and unlike the tasteless soy based vegetarian burger, is a few hundred times better tasting than the cheeseburgers and the whoppers (I know because I used to eat them before becoming strict vegetarian).
I will make this prediction now: when proper quality, supply chain and marketing are established, the Vadapavs can make a SERIOUS dent to the meat burgers.
Now, obviously the yanks cannot handle the gun powder chilli mix that is liberally applied in Mumbai but I am sure they will come up with a midler version.
I used to eat a pav bhaji, followed by one or two vada pavs chased down with a kalagatta and finally a small fruit plate for lunch whenever I could - around he flora fountain area in Mumbai. All this used cost like Rs6 or so at that time.
