Food Frenzy!!!!!!!!!!!

What Vir Sanghvi is to brunch NDTV Metro (Delhi) is to the news channels!! They have taken it upon themselves to guide the ignorant lot like us as to what can we put into our mouths and what not. Yesterday while surfing channels I happened to hit NDTV Metro, name of the show food frenzy, Place Kashmir house, Chanakyapuri Delhi. This guy our host was talking to the head cook, discussing menu... it was fine one dosen't anyways expect much these days.

After the commercial break there were a group of 4 people sitting around a table, two of them were self acclaimed food critics, there was this third guy whose only qualification was that he belonged to J&K and there was this big mouthed girl even she didn't knew why was she invited.... anyways the menu consisted of 3 non vegetarian delicacies and a vegetarian dish... served in steel bowls with boiled rice. Ya bowl!!(badi vali katori...) . They started eating... their aim was to discuss and eat simultaneously... and I don't know why NDTV thinks this is Hot!!!
Anyways this guy our host and one of the food critics did most of the talking...
and yes with the other food critic, who was not that talkative but somehow seemed to be enjoying the attention. The J&K guy was comfortably left out of focus after introduction, but this girl i mean boss she was very hungry... and poor girl, she was sitting between these food critics and camera was placed at such an angle that she was always in focus.....
But obviously it was not a big deal for her , i mean to be in a show that's aired on a national TV....The amount of rice she put into her mouth without exaggerating doubled the size of her left cheek. She took 3 servings of rice while the poor guys had to discuss food as well and were not yet done with the first one.
She ate non stop for the next 10 minutes before the host finally for courtesy sake asked her a question. Oops!! She had no clue... what they were discussing... or what the question was....??? Finally after finishing her mouthful she started comparing the creamy flavor of the Butter Chicken and the tangy kashmiri dish... she absolutely made no sense and the moment last word was out of her mouth a big spoonful was into it???? I mean somebody please tell me what was all this...........
