Kolkata is famous for its street foods. And if you have been to the city, you must have tried the famous Chhangani Club Kachori from the iconic local shop Nestled in Burrabazar’s Nimbutala. There's always a long queue of food lovers outside the shop to relish the crisp kachori served with lip smacking Rajasthani-style sabzi. The popular food joint also attracts food floggers, who want to try the kachoris and let their subscribers know about the shop and its popular dish.
While making such videos, vloggers interact with the kitchen staff, the owner and also customers. However, these interaction are not always amicable, like in this case.
In the video gone viral on X, formerly Twitter, the vendor is seen having a heated conversation with the content creator when asked about who cooks the kachori and sabzi.
“Kaha se aata hai? Paida hota hai kya computer se? Hum nahi banayega toh kaun banayega?” (Where does it come from? Is it made by a computer? If we don’t make it then who will?)
The vlogger tries to clarify and asks again whether people working under him prepare the dish, but the vendor continues to respond angrily.
Since being shared the video has amassed close to 55,000 views and several comments.
"Half of the Food vloggers in India dont care about food," commented one user on seeing the video.
"Computer se Banta hai sabzi," another user sarcastically repeated what the vendor had said.
While a third wrote, "Too much arrogance is not good for business. Owner should have queried the purpose of the question. Would have realised whether he wanted such an interview to occur or not. Also, it appears vlogger is a freeloader. No introduction or purpose will lead to this. Both guilty".
"Food blogger are acceleration for there sales they should respect that,' wrote a fourth.
