Pass The Menu

Look! We take our food very seriously. So we sat down, listed food items from our favourite restaurants and made our own menu.

#Live-Action #FoodReview

What happens when you put a bunch of self-proclaimed breakfast connoisseurs to put together an ideal menu with items picked out from Bengaluru’s OG breakfast spots?

That’s exactly what Pass The Menu is.

And in typical LastBench fashion, we had to make a film out of it.

Shashank and Nikhil are avid consumers of food content, and naturally, this would transpire into numerous debates and conversations at the lunch table - ranging from where you get the best burgers in town to whether sweet Sambar should be legal (let’s not even). This list became a bit too long and comprehensive, with a few others from the team adding to it. That’s when the idea struck us - why not document all of this into a fun series?

The brief was very simple:create a breakfast menu that consists of dishes from Bangalore’s most underdog eateries.

And of course, to also make something that we would love to watch and get excited about. We really wanted to feature spots that weren’t talked about as much, had fast service (we’re Bangaloreans and we love a quick breakfast) and had a different take on the usual dosas we see, like Chetty’s and their podi avalakki dosa especially. We don’t see that very often now do we?

Filming this was an absolute blast for Shashank and Nikhil, apart from the obvious perks of going around these places and trying out the food. It was meeting new people, talking about why they’re regulars at these places and exploring Bangalore’s obsession with breakfast.

Some of our best work comes out when we’re not taking ourselves too seriously.

The hilarious rants and banter between the two, memes and Niranjan’s on-camera chutney-loving personality is all a result of us just sitting in front of the camera and seeing what lands.

Throughout the making of this film, not once at any point did we stop to think - does this even make sense? And that is the whole point of making a film like this, if you’re having a ball in front of the camera then the odds are that so is the person watching it on the other end.
