A Plate Of Souvlaki At Sowcarpet Chennai, home to an urbane, cosmopolitan prosperity, gets a global explosion in taste.

Kebabs and kefte roll off the interactive kitchen at the swish Kryptos on Chennai's fashion avenue, Khader Nawaz Khan Road. On a hot and humid Tuesday afternoon, lunch is in full swing in the large, rectangular 64-cover dining area lined with three kinds of hand-crafted walls - firebrick, metal and wooden. A group of spiffy young women, who have selected this Greek restaurant that opened a few months ago for their afternoon of food and chatter, are poring over a menu of meze, souvlaki, fasolada and gigandes plaki. For most in the crowd, not many dishes ring a bell. But that is precisely why they have chosen to be here - to try, test, acquire and grow their culinary character. And that is precisely what Chennai's foremost and full-fledged Greek restaurant is cashing in on.

Nearby, on the busy Nungambakkam High Road, at Dahlia, a Japanese restaurant huddled in a rundown shopping complex, every day between noon and 2.30 pm, business is brisk. In 1993, a seafood exporter, Naoki Yamauchi, and partner Revathi Nagaswami started Dahlia to cater to the small but growing Japanese population in the city. But now it finds that there are more Chennaiites than Japanese gorging on its home-style traditional dishes of sashimi, sushi, udon, soba, ramen.

Chennai, once known for its conservative palate, has plunged into a culinary culture that now boasts of a cavalcade of cuisines and flavours from across the globe. Its ripple effect is perceptible among foodies, many of whom saying pita, sashimi and wasabi, for instance, in the same breath as idli, sambar and vadai. In today's Chennai, home to a manufacturing and IT hub, and an equally eclectic expatriate population, hummus is haute, kimchi the new cool. {Read on}

What did people do with their spare time before computers and the internet? ...let's say the 1960s.

That's easy: sex, drugs, and rock & roll.

And before that: wine, women, and song.

Before that: booze, wenches, and merryment.

Before that: mead, pillaged women and battle hymn.

Before that: plankton, blowfish and whale music.

Dance and drink and screw. Because there's nothing else to do.

Sex. Where do you think all those huge families came from?

Yo, Tony, give me some of them hamburgers!

American: can i have a double cheese burger, extra large fries and a super sized diet coke please? 

British: wtf? why are you getting all that crap then having a diet coke? why not just go all the way and kill yourself in one go?!!?!

mozza burger

the greatest burger ever, it can be purchased at A&W. Mozza cheese, bacon, tomato, and tons of other delicious ingredients. is better than a whopper or a big mac. much better.

If i lived close to an A&W, i know i would be morbidly obese simply because of the mozza burger.

Suicide Burger

Another name for Burger King's famous Quad Stacker burger. possibly the greatest burger known to man, but also the most unhealthy and dangerous. 4 meat patties, with 4 slices of cheese, strips of bacon strewn throughout, and some kind of sauce no one knows about. you'll probably die of a heart attack if you eat too many in a short amount of time.

last week, i walked down to BK and ordered a Suicide Burger.

Burger Baron

The greatest god damn burger shop in the whole fucking world. Nothing you have ever tasted, as far as burgers are concerned, will ever compare to the delicious amazing "soft but crispy" greatness of theBurger Baron Patty. The Restaurant is only a small business that is found in Edmonton, but there is one small store found in Kelowna. The buns are prepared in unconventional ways, using a "secret" sauce (mustard, ketchup, relish, and... well im not quite sure...) and it is guarantied to make your mouth water every time someone even mentions the name "Burger Baron".

Raymond: "Hey, you wanna get some Burger Baron tonight?"
Smith: "You fucking know it, that shit is the best!"

Hamburgerman

A comic book character created by none other than ME, Joseph. In the comics, Hamburgerman originated as a Wendy's Classic Single. But he was then super-sized and became Hamburgerman, and gained super powers. He flew away and landed at the Burger Cave(Burger King) and dedicated his life to fighting evil. Some of the villains he has battled include the Super Fry, The Six-Dollar Burger, but his greatest villain is Pizza Slice. Luckily his trusty sidekick, Pizza Boy, is always there to fight and drive the Pizzamobile. Hamburgerman has starred in 6 ground-breaking, award-winning seasons and is preparing for a seventh.

Hamburgerman defeated the Six-Dollar Burger in Season 2 with his ketchup blaster.

McDonalds

The greatest food in the world. Its fast, hot, and DELICIOUS. It's your fuckin problem if you get fat from it. Its called 'deal with it.'

burger king can kiss my a$$

eh

The greatest catchphrase ever

An lo! The Lord entered the burger joint, and wisenly spake, "Eeeeeeeeeh"

No… I'm not gonna explain it anymore times.

A crusty old biker out on a long summer ride in the country pulls up to a tavern in the middle of no where, parks his bike and walks inside.

As he passes through the swinging doors, he sees a sign hanging over the bar:

COLD BEER: $2.00

HAMBURGER: $2.25

CHEESEBURGER: $2.50

CHICKEN SANDWICH : $3.50

HAND JOB: $50.00

Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, the ole' biker walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive blonde female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled farmers.

She glides down behind the bar to the ole biker.

"Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, "may I help you?"

The ole biker leans over the bar, "I was wondering young lady," he whispers, "are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?"

She looks into his eyes with that wide smile and purrs "Why yes, yes, I sure am".

The ole' biker leans closer and into her left ear whispers softly, "Well, wash your hands real good, cause I want a cheeseburger".

Sometimes too much drink is not enough.

A Russian guy was walking down the street when he came across a bottle of vodka. He picked it up, opened it and a genie came out and said, "You are my master. You now have one wish."

The Russian man said, "I would like to piss vodka."

When the he got home he told his wife to get two glasses. She brought them and asked what they'd be drinking. He told her he could piss vodka, and of course she didn't believe him. So he pissed in the glasses, she smelled one, and said, "It smells like vodka!"

Then they drank some and couldn't believe it, but it tasted like vodka too! Indeed, it was the best vodka they'd ever had.

So the next night the Russian guy came home tired and told his wife to get one glass. She asked him, "Why only one glass?"

"Because tonight," he said, "you're drinking from the bottle!"

Ah! an American who speaks American.
