Here it goes ! Let's understand the true story instead of just trolling !

@AmbarishSatwik @Indian_Accent @manishmehrotra 2/2 Look around and so many Restaraunts and caterers are inspired by what he did. From blue cheese stuffed nans to the revival of daulat ki chaat. Not condoning the corner that was cut just trying to balance the comments.

@AmbarishSatwik @Indian_Accent What happened is unacceptable at all,hope was an honest mistake and not cost cutting which equals cheating . But we can't just troll and wipe away years of fabulous innovation in food. There is no question that @manishmehrotra took Indian food to another level1/1

A tirade. Against @Indian_Accent, Delhi’s much-lauded temple of gastronomy, where the well-heeled and the well-fed go to stroke their palates with innovation. A couple of days back, they were found peddling a culinary sleight of hand.   The offending dish, an offering on the tasting menu, promised morel, water chestnut, and asparagus, hidden beneath a ‘paper roast dosai’ (Exhibit A). One is always excited at the prospect of encountering a well-sourced morel, the truffle of the East—that decadent jewel from from the forests of J & K that costs more than an Indian family’s grocery bill for half a month. What arrived under the dosa cone, was not the morel, but a drab cluster of the most ordinary button mushrooms, the kind one might expect in a roadside stir-fry, the fungal equivalent of a counterfeit handbag. If you’re going to list morels on the menu, then there better be morels on the plate, not the fungal detritus scraped from the bottom of a vegetable box (Exhibit B).   This wasn’t an error. It was a deliberate act of chicanery. A calculated decision. Someone in the kitchen, or perhaps in the higher echelons of the restaurant, took it upon themselves to substitute the expensive morel with a far cheaper imposter, fully believing that these particular patrons, who probably didn’t look like the sort to have tasted morel before, wouldn’t know the difference.   When summoned, the chef performed the customary song-and-dance of apology, claiming he would ‘fix it in under two minutes.’ And he did. Miraculously. Brought in a new plate, flush with morels. Which begs the question—how is a fine dining restaurant able to replace a dish in less time than it takes me to open a bottle of cheap plonk? Pre-prepared, perhaps? If this kitchen is churning out dishes with all the haste of an airport lounge buffet, then what exactly are the patrons paying for? The pomp? The pretense? At this price point, we are not paying for mere food, but for integrity, for the understanding that what is stated on the menu is what will arrive on the plate. When a fine dining restaurant offers morel and serves common mushrooms, they are engaging in outright theft. Ordinarily, I’d let such an infraction slide. If it were some second-rate restaurant peddling Instagram-friendly fusion fare, I’d roll my eyes and quietly consign it to the bin of forgettable meals. But this is the restaurant that Condé Nast Traveller, in a flight of wild, hyperventilating praise, swears is the very best in all of India. It’s nestled comfortably on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, ranked #26—an achievement it brandishes like a Michelin star. Time Magazine calls it one of the 'World's 100 Greatest Places' The question that naturally arises from this regrettable sleight of hand is: who, precisely, stands to benefit from this deception? Who profits from swapping out the Rolls-Royce of fungi for the rusted banger of button mushrooms? Certainly not the kitchen staff, who, I imagine, are too busy executing their preordained choreography to engage in such duplicity. Nor, I suspect, the serving staff, who would have to nervously deliver these imposters to tables, hoping against hope that no discerning palate calls foul. The chefs? Perhaps, but not in any way that bolsters their culinary pride. They’re not stashing a wad of cash in their aprons or taking home the saved morels. My sense is that their hands are tied by those behind the curtain. To call this ‘cheap and petty’ would be charitable.

This is so so true! Stop VIP Darshans

@Theshashank_p @AmbarishSatwik @Indian_Accent He has left a month ago

@AmbarishSatwik @Indian_Accent As far as I know, Chef Manish himself oversees the operations at Indian Accent, Delhi unlike its Mumbai outlet. I’m shocked to know that he would let anything of this sort to happen under his nose.

We should all stand up for @Phogat_Vinesh Shame on our government @narendramodi and @PTUshaOfficial @Nitaambani56 for not fighting for our star

Proposed Immediate Rule Changes for UWW: 1.) 1kg second Day Weight Allowance. 2.) Weigh-ins pushed from 8:30am to 10:30am. 3.) Forfeit will occur in future finals if opposing finalist misses weight. 4.) After a semifinal victory, both finalists’ medals are secured even if weight is missed on Day 2. Gold can only be won by a wrestler who makes weight on the second day. 5.) Give Vinesh the Silver medal.

BIGGEST BREAKING 🚨🔥 Six time World Champion and Olympic Gold medalist from USA Jordan Burroughs comes in support of Vinesh Phogat He demands Silver Medal 🥈 " After the semifinal victory, she secured the medal. GIVE VINESH SILVER "👏 Vinesh gets global support ⚡ But, What is Indian govt and IOA is doing? Why such careless approach has been made in this case? #Phogat_Vinesh #Boycott_Paris_Olympic #Disqualified

I find myself obliged to defend Rahul Gandhi which is unusual. He did not attack Hinduism. He said that the BJP, RSS and Narendra Modi cannot and do not represent the whole of Hinduism.

@bigbuslondon 45 mins wait for Bus at Baker Street ! What are you guys doing

Shame on you @airvistara xcel flights because of pilot shortage . Refuse to help platinium passengers.

Law isn’t just to punish offenders but to stop the offence. @DC_Gurugram’s Sec 144 on waste burning didn’t persuade officers in this @gurgaonpolice patrol car HR99 0243 to assist in putting out this fire. If police plays its role, we can cut #AirPollution significantly. #Gurgaon

Potato, tomato, tapioca, groundnuts, corn, papaya, pineapple, cashew, capsicum and chilli were all brought to India by the Portuguese in the 16th century. The Goan CM and the BJP supporters in Goa should boycott these foreign food products, which arrived from Latin America.

Despite the alarming situation in Gurgaon, waste management remains neglected. Chakkarpur Wazirabad Bundh is an eyesore and a threat to public health due to uncollected waste. Urgent action needed to ensure a cleaner environment for all. @MunCorpGurugram @EcoGreen_Energy @cmohry
