Our Honeymoon: Of joy, learning and getting to know each other

Fifteen months ago when I had thought of starting a food blog, I had wanted to create an archive of my thoughts and memories attached to food. Very little did I know that it would go on to become so much more than that. Today after 15 months since the inception of BiteChompGulp, it has…

The coolest new Burger hot-spot in town at My Big Fat Belly

My love for burgers, sliders, sandwiches and wraps is a saga worth celebrating. Fillings and dressings, with a touch of seasoning, between two pieces of bread are what my dreams are made up of. So the  ‘My Big Fat Belly’, the newly opened place in Sarat Bose Road, is totally my kind of a place!…
