Sergio Gor, the US Ambassador to India, recently embarked on a journey to explore the local culture of Bengaluru alongside Member of Parliament Tejasvi Surya. From indulging in authentic and scrumptious dosas to riding in an auto, the US envoy made the most of his time in the city. Street food, however, took centre stage. Shortly after his visit, Sergio shared a picture of himself eating dosas with Tejasvi. They were seated at a wooden table in a rustic, brick-walled, minimal-setting eatery in Bengaluru, enjoying a traditional meal. In the picture, we could spot two types of chutneys with bowls of sambar served alongside the dosas.
Further praising the city's vibrant spirit, Gor wrote, “Just arrived in Bengaluru! From startups to street food, Bengaluru's energy is unmatched! Thank you to my great host, Tejasvi Surya.”
