Red-White Chevy car seats immediately catch our eye as we walk into IC Colony’s newest all-American diner, The Burger Pit. It opened earlier this month and as the name suggests, the place is loaded with Uncle Sam’s stars and stripes. There are a couple of Michael Jackson and Kenny Rogers LPs, too that adorn the walls alongside some giant Coca Cola bottle caps, all in keeping with the American Dream theme.

The brain behind the resto, Clement Fernandes, former manager of The Sassy Spoon, is a tad nervous when asked to explain his maiden entrepreneurial venture. “It took me a year to plan this out, as I ideated over every element of the menu. It’s something you won’t find anywhere else in Mumbai,” assures Fernandes, a trained chef, when we caught up with him after our meal.
