Jayesh Paranjape, organiser of the event and founder of The Western Routes, compares the event to a treasure hunt. “It is a competition about hunting food outlets in the city that are old and well-known. There are a lot of eateries in Pune that are well known, the city has a trail of its own. The Misal and Bhakarwadi that you find here you won’t find anywhere else. The hunt will start at Shaniwarwada and end at Tilak Tank,” he states.
