Hungry Hogs might seem like just another place to get awesome food. A refreshing, new brand in fast food. A place you can just chill out and have a good time with your friends.
But for us, it’s much more (like that’s not obvious enough.) To quote and then paraphrase the infamous Jerry Maguire, “You don’t know what it’s like to be US for you, it is an up at noon, pride swallowing siege that I will never tell you about.”
Just kidding people… Being a part of Hungry Hogs is one of the most awesome-est feelings in the world.
When you dine at a restaurant or visit a place, do you ever wonder if there exists a story to the place? In all probability, it’s your boring; let’s make some money kind of story.
But there are those places where you walk in and you can tell there is some history to this place, like the place isn’t just bricks and concrete.
Character I guess is the word I am looking for. Lot’s of places have said character.
Now my definition of character is a marking or a scarring or some sort of physical change or erosion that occurs in a thing and leaves behind an irrevocable mark giving it a distinguishing feature; something that stands out and makes said something easier to remember or if I dare say. Memorable!
Like the Purple Haze on Residency Road, or Qwiky’s in Koramangala (before it became Jimi’s). Like Pecos back in the day. (Either I’m really old or back in the day was almost as far back as I can remember.) Like your local pani puri wala or chaat wala. All these places have it.
(OK, they might seem like bad examples so early on into the piece, but read on and then maybe you’ll get my drift.)
You probably know ours, what with all our newspaper articles conveniently set out for all the world to see (under our table on facebook and the like)
Before this inane rambling continues, the point I’m getting to is, we blog, so that you, dear reader, know that there is a method to our madness, unlike a publicity tool where a million pop ups and status updates translate to how hep and new age we are (And by saying hep and new age, I think we just lost half our readership. It’s ok. Someone else might take your place. Fingers crossed. Please don’t go!!!)

We’d like you to know who we are and what we do, inside out. (Which co-incidentally is an awesome book for Pink Floyd fans.)
On a different tangent. We have been toiling away behind the scenes to bring Hungry Hogs to more and more of you lovely Bangaloreans out there. (It sucks that they can’t all come down to Koramangla.)
Don’t worry my pets. We’ve heard the pleas and we’re going to make sure there’s a lot more place for you guys to sit. Rest assured, we got the kind of place in mind where you can feel even more at home.
As far as the where question goes. We follow the old real estate adage of “Location! Location! Location!” Which pretty much translates to a wider coverage area to satiate Bangalore’s hot dog craving.
We don’t know if you know but, we are officially in a tie-in with the greatest gift to gaming Dell could come up with, Alienware.
And as they set up to host India’s first Call of Duty: Black Ops gaming tournament, we are going to be right there beside them fueling and energizing the eager mercs and commandos who will fight for glory and the top prize.
(On a side note: Apparently COD: Black Ops hasn’t officially been released in our fair country {Sorry state of affairs, methinks} and neither has it’s predecessor Modern Warfare 2 which I admit is one of the finest games I have ever played. Black Ops. Not so much. But that’s just me. CITATION NEEDED.)
So yeah. It is a big step. The world’s first and only, official ALL ALIENWARE gaming store has chosen yours truly, Bangalore’s finest HOT DOG brand as their official caterers.
Another feather in our cap? We’d like to think so. And the only way we’ve been able to achieve this is because of you guys.
Every time you come down to our Diner, eat our hot dog, tell your friends and bring them down. Every time you think of Hungry Hogs, we grow. As a company, as friends, as a family and as individuals.
Which brings me back to the up at noon, pride swallowing quote. (See I’m not always random.) The only reason we open up everyday is cause of you guys. The love you’ve given us, even if it might just seem as characterless and coming in, sitting down and eating a hot dog. Your support creates history for us. Builds our character.
Who would’ve thought that history is symbiotic? You create memories with your friends and in turn history is created for us.
And before you think all this lavish praise and thanks is to get you to come back for more. Don’t worry we prefer to let our hot dogs do ze talking.
This is my 868th word. And all of a sudden I’m feeling like I’m writing one of those high school essays like “What was your most significant emotional moment.” And on that note. I stop.
As always,
