50 Years of Building Bangalore's Food & Nightlife

Fifty years. Night by night, plate by plate.

Did this hit?

Bangalore's food and nightlife didn't just happen. It was built — by a handful of people who were willing to show up, night after night, and figure it out before there was a template. Desmond Rice is one of those people. With fifty years of experience across the city's food and nightlife landscape, his story is essentially the history of Bangalore's culture told through the eyes of someone who was there for all of it.

This is one of The VIC Fix's most significant episodes — a conversation with a man who has seen everything and is still building.

“People think scenes just happen. They don't. Someone showed up every night and made it happen.”
