American singer-songwriter Eric Nam is in India to attend the Lollapalooza music festival. So, singer-actor Ayushmann Khurrana took charge of making the Runaway hit-maker comfortable in the country. The two artists bonded over more than just music. How do we know this? Ayushmann Khurrana has shared a video on Instagram that revolves around their adventures with some yummy-licious food. The clip begins with the actor telling Eric, “I will make you travel to India via our food. Culturally rich, food is also very rich.” What's next? The two kick-started their drool-worthy gastronomical adventure with kanda bhajiya from West India. The moment crispy onion fritters were being served to Eric, he can be heard saying, “Smells delicious.”

On Eric's special request, he is served spicy chutney with the fritters. He says, “Give me the spice. I will take the spice.” Well, good luck on that one, Eric. Ditching the spoon and fork, Eric tasted the dish in desi style, with his hands. After just one bite we could see the American singer nodding his head, so we would like to believe that he loved it.
Next up, the two tried out Amritsari kulcha with chole from North India. Before tasting the deadly combo, Eric Nam says, “I am going to watch you eat it and then I am going to copy exactly how you eat it.” As Ayushmann Khurrana makes a big bite for himself, Eric follows him exactly. But Eric's review of the dish left Ayushmann in splits. After a bite, he says, “Flavourful but also feels healthy. I don't know if it is.” Talking about the guilty pleasure, Ayushmann says, “I can't talk more. Let's end it right here,” with a big smile on his face.
Then Eric Nam was served our favourite dish, which even turned out to be his guilty pleasure as well. Eric says, “I love Biryani. Bring it on. Bring it on.” The two relished Hyderabadi Biryani. Making a big bite with his hands, Eric calls it “Aesthetically beautiful.” Oh, we totally agree with you, Eric.

Next stop - East India. Ayushmann Khurrana ordered a dessert from the region. Any guesses? The actor says, “Now we are left with East India. The dish is called rasmalai.” Are you drooling already? Wait till you see Eric's reaction. The decadent dessert received an applause from Eric. The clip concluded with Ayushmann Khurrana saying, “So this is India travel. You travelled our entire country through our food.” But it seems Eric is not satisfied as he says, “I wanted more, sarasar na insafi hai. I think we can do this again and again.” Sharing the clip Ayushmann Khurrana wrote, “I'm still not full. Time for round 2.”
We can't wait for Eric Nam and Ayushmann Khurrana's next foodie trail.
