Bert Mueller, an American businessman who started the popular Mexican food chain California Burrito in Bengaluru, was recently spotted enjoying a traditional North Karnataka meal. He visited a well-known vegetarian restaurant in Basavanagudi called Kamat, where he tried a Jowar Bhakri thali. Bert shared that he first came to this restaurant in 2014, following a suggestion from his accountant. What he liked about thali is that it had fresh vegetables, crunchy salads, and it was filled with flavours. He specifically enjoyed the butter melting on the Jowar roti, which went perfectly with the eggplant curry.
Speaking with Servd Bengaluru, the entrepreneur said, “We’re going to have a wonderful veg meal at, Kamat Hotel, Bugle Road. So my CA showed me this restaurant way back in 2014 and I loved it. There’s a lot of fresh vegetables, there’s like all sorts of different salads and chutneys. I really like healthy food. Generally, in Thalis, you don’t get a lot of raw vegetables, but for whatever reason, they serve a lot. They give a beautiful piece of fresh butter on Jowar Roti and then they have a nice Baingan.”
“These jowar bhakri meals are like another people do this format than Kamat, but I found, theirs is the best. I believe this is a Northern Karnataka, Uttara Karnataka meal. One cool thing here is the unlimited buttermilk. They add a little garlic and it’s different than other places. They do a very good job with the variety of textures and tastes. I just love the freshness. I don’t usually come to this side of the city, but I come over here at least twice, three times a year to have food. Can’t go to the gym after all this,” Bert Mueller added.
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Lol, the head shakes from side to side. You are so integrated. Love this for you.”
Another jokingly shared, “Eligible for Aadhar. Haven’t they issued you one yet?”
“Love the buttermilk appreciation,” a comment read.
An individual stated, “Bro brought Mexican food to India and he’s enjoying our culture and food to the fullest.”
Another mentioned, “Bro spoke more Kannada than some other people for 14 years.”
One more added, “He eats more like a typical South Indian, which many North Indians don’t know how to eat with one hand.”
Bert Mueller began California Burrito when he was only 22 years old. He used money collected from his family and friends to turn his idea into a real business.
