Yesterday, South Indian vegetarian restaurant Udupi Palace (1460 Gerrard East) held their second annual Spicy Dosa Eating Contest to benefit SickKids. Here, winner Neilank Jha from Toronto (left) chats with guest emcee Jack Layton.
At right is a friend whom Jha referred to as his "coach", who informed me that Jha took the contest pretty seriously, prepping with special meals and no alcohol for 24 hours ahead of time, spending the morning at the gym and strategizing his approach right up until the last minute. Clearly, it paid off.

Mmm! Dosa! Where would you recommend in Toronto for the most authentic, good quality dosa?
ReplyDeleteHi, Dana. As to authentic, not sure; haven`t been to Asia. But I know from tasty. I mourn the loss of Madras Durbar. Since I live a block away (and because they're so nice), Udupi Palace is my new fave, though, truth to tell, Annapurna does a mean dosa. Haven't tried the trendy dosa nouveau place downtown yet. Where do you like?
ReplyDeletehey that guy who won is pretty hot!
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly was the contest?
ReplyDeleteWho could eat the most or the spiciest food?
Would have liked more info since we were not there....
Sounded interesting at least.
