In this episode of their podcast, Kurush and Kalyan talk about the concept of barter and its relevance when it comes to social media marketing, they skirt away from the four letter B word in the world of Indian food which can be contentious on social media and move on to biryani, a topic that often leads to serious debates between the two of them. Each takes a swipe at the biryani from the other's home base, Kalyan on Mumbai's and Kurush on Kolkata's. They then use their childhood biryani experiences to reconstruct the social fabric of the Bombay and Calcutta of their times and use this as an example to express their points of view on what makes for engaging food writing. Oh yes, Kalyan does outrage this time too and has a strong message to non-Kolkatans claiming to reconstruct the 'Kolkata biryani' outside of Kolkata.
'K&K Dig Food' is a podcast on food hosted by Dr Kurush Dalal and Kalyan Karmakar from Mumbai (and navi Mumbai).
Kurush is an archeologist and food ethnographer, who is a proud son of Mumbai ,and is possibly one of the most quoted people in articles on Indian food written in recent times. He runs a series of very popular online courses on food writing and is a much sought after speaker in food events. He is married to a Bengali (not Kalyan), Rhea Mitra Dalal and runs Katy's Kitchen with her, a Parsi catering company started by his mother the late Dr Katy Dalal.
Kalyan is a sociology student and an MBA, who started his career as a qualitative market researcher where he figured out that he loves interviewing people and moderating. Anchors he likes to model himself on swing from Dr Prannoy Roy to Cyrus Broacha! He is a food blogger, published author and likes to call himself a 'columnist' so that he can write about his breakfast and get done with work for the day! He is married to a Parsi (not Kurush), Kainaz Karmakar, who when not babysitting the three boys at home, Kalyan, Baby Loaf and Little Nimki (the last two are cats, but no one has broken this to them), works in advertising.
Kalyan and Kurush bond over a shared love for food, wry humour and Valibhai. You can google the more boring parts about their lives.
