Delhi’s obsession with its food reflects most in its nooks and corners where hole-in-the-wall establishments, stalls and carts dock and thrive. Despite serving affordable, lip-smacking delicacies — some for decades — the contributions of these heroes of the streets have largely remained unsung. Anubhav Sapra, who spearheads Delhi Food Walks, and calls himself the foodie-in-chief of the initiative that took form at the end of 2010, organised the Street Food Awards, 2018, at the American Centre to “recognise the efforts of the various street food vendors. Sapra refers to the street food vendors of Delhi as his “second family” and feels that it would have been too difficult and unfair to pick the winners himself. Other winners in the special category include Rajiv Bhai Ke Special Pizza Omelette for Best Street Food Fusion, KB Chaat Moonglet bagged the award for Trending Street Food 2018 and the much-coveted award, Hall of Fame, was given to The Old Kheer Shop in Chandni Chowk.
