Woodstok

There’s something exquisite about continental cooking. Apparently it’s the only way a man could ever get away with his culinary skills. That is because men do not multi task, apart from screwing up several things at the same time! On a hot Sunday noon, while brushing away the cobwebs of an alcohol induced sleep, Bryan hit upon the obviousness of a nice cosy lunch. Bob too agreed as they were in no mood to confirm their depravity towards cooking. And it had to be continental in order to help cure the hangover.

The result was a nice clamped little restaurant in Indiranagar. Woodstok, is by no means your ordinary dining option. It’s got a class of its own. Cramped to a corner, off the main road, it’s a cosy yet beautiful little fad built with stones and wood. It’s a nice way to spend your boring Sunday perched atop a balcony that’ll please, even the most pernickety of thin lipped feminists. The food was just as pleasing as the thought. Sipping into his Chocolate Blizzard, Fin was enthused by Bryan’s choice of dining. The continental flare is evident in the menu. Bryan & Bob wasted no time in plumping for The London Hose Grill. Fin scanned the menu with his cardinal rules and after Bryan administered the most almighty kick to his plums, he sought refuge with a Cottage Cheese Sizzler.

Cottage Cheese Sizzler and London House Grill

The London House Grill was an unambiguous picking of the best meats they could get. And it turned out to be a preeminent bout of vanity on a plate. The ham, beef & chicken cooked to the right textures cleared the doom-laden Sunday boredom. The meats were tender, juicy & appetizing enough. The Cottage Cheese Sizzler was a huge pile resting on some hot rice that was quickly mucked up by Fin. The oozing flow from the fat bed of veggies, baked into a succulent meal, did wonders for Fin that afternoon. The dessert was Blueberry Cheese Cake and it proved why the place was so popular for its pastries. Even the ice cream is made in-house and the kind of seriousness with which they go about flavouring it, is just intense.

But more than the food it’s the place that overwhelms you. The fine setting, the cosy ambience, the works are so facet that you just marvel at it. So it is definitely the place to go when you and the lads want to have a nice outing after an evening of drinking and share some good ribaldry.

Pat could not make it as he’s been heeding the cries of commitment yet again so he went thong shopping for the imaginary muse! Yeah, right! Sam decided that he was too short, too fat and too broke to fit into the itinerary for the day. The Pseudo Sophisticated is back from heaven and put all his winning money on black and it came up red. He then married a sex kitten just that she turned into a cat. After which he moved into the gold just as all the clever money moved out. Cut to the chase, he’s totally screwed up!
