Capitalism is not necassarily bad. And globalization doesn’t necassarily kill culture. The world looks at capitalsim and marxism like they are black and white. A path between them, I vehementely believe
is possible. And Jumbo King is therefore very important to our economy. Jumbo King is vadapav outlet based on the McDonalds’ model.( For the seemingly ignorant, vadapav is the road-side food Mahrashtrians and particularly Mumbaikars live by. Its basically balls of aloo sabji dipped in besan batter and then deep fried, served between the fold of pav or double bread) Vadapav is sold on almost every street and is accompanied by any chutney. It would cost anywhere between 3 to 4 bux, depending on the vadapav-walla. It is extremely ceap, filling and very stumptuous. Selling vadapav like burgers is a genuinely inteersting and lucrative idea. The vadapavs at JK are sold for 5 bux, so yeah, we can pay an extra buck for hygiene. Moreover all the franchises are found outside railway stations, which ensures them good business. Also, Jumbo King gives you the option of Brown bread and vada pav with cheese. So u c, globalization isn’t that bad afterall!!

But here is Jk’s biggest drawback...its pav is too good for any vadapav. Don’t get it? The pav is big, nice and fluffy, but it seems to conceal the taste of the vada, because of its excessiveness. In the end, inspite of its high standards for potatoes and bread, it doesnt satisfy the tastebuds like the original. So try Jumbo King, please do, but Im not sure it will be your haunt.
