The international, 24-hour food and lifestyle television channel Zee Zest, has acquired exclusive rights to Season 3 of ‘The Big Forkers’, an unscripted, humorous, and truly entertaining show featuring cousins and hosts Shashank Jayakumar and Sid Mewara a.k.a The Forkers’ love for food, travel, and discovering new cultures.
‘The Big Forkers’ will premiere on February 15 on Zee Zest.com, the unapologetically irreverent duo which will be seen discovering the ‘Urru’, Bangalore and its culinary offerings right from the local fair, regional specialties, and international tables along with the fan-favorite, ‘the pub crawl’.
The journey of food discovery and exploration for Sid, an investment banker and ex-chef and his cousin and co-host Shanky, serial technology entrepreneur and consultant to The World Bank, started with a tipsy conversation with friends while traveling through Spain in 2019, following the food trail by the late Chef Anthony Bourdain.
Inspired and encouraged, the cousins then set up a YouTube channel in 2020 called ‘The Big Forkers’ that showcased their exploration of cuisines.
On acquiring The Big Forkers, Amit Nair, Business Head, Zee Zest, said, “The earlier 2 seasons piqued our interest with the duo’s edgy take on food and its many stories around it. In Big Forkers Season 3, there is enough for the Bangalore local, the steady traveler, or someone on the couch chilling with a cold one to take away from this latest installment from the big boys. This series is the first among the many
