[RECAP] Local Eateries – Virtual Meet

[FalguniP]

Hello Local Guides

As much as we local guides love to travel to different place we all love to explore food of different location. The reason to conduct this meet up was to promote local guides to make lists of local restaurants or food joints around them, this in turn will help to promote the local business as usually the local restaurants are owned by small and medium firms.

Also learning about food helps us to decided where to go on our next visit to that location.

Meet Up lasted for 3 Hours, we started with the presentation where we discussed about different types of local eateries and why it is important and shared some locally popular dishes.

[MukulR]

I enjoyed this meet-up a lot. I don’t know how we spent almost 3 hours so swiftly. Great meet-up indeed. All the attendees were very much interactive in this meet-up that made it a successful meet-up. I want to give a very special thanks to @Shrut19 Mam who presented a wide range of tasty and delicious dishes of this Indian Sub-continent, many of them are common in my country also. And special thanks go to @Tejal Mam for giving a chance to see us her very lovely kitchen. Tejal Mam influences me one thing to write here that, mothers in this region do not forget to add pure love and emotion along with the other ingredients in the dish which they cook for their family. I think this is a very rare characteristic of this sub-continent. Thanks a lot for hosting this meet-up @FalguniP and giving me a chance several times to present my dishes and the local restaurants from Bangladesh. Regards
