Ice Cream Sandwiches & Tikka Naan: Chef's Night Out with the Badmaash Brothers

Badass brothers, Arjun and Nakul Mahendro, co-owners of LA’s Indian gastropub Badmaash (helmed by father/Chef Pawan Mahendro) head out for a night of flawless food and drinks in Downtown LA. Friends Lele Massimini (Sugarfish), Alvin Cailan (Eggslut) and Ryan Aguilar (Badmaash) join the crew too. First stop is Ari Taymor’s, Alma for a tantalizing tasting menu. Next, they grub and grab beers at Texas BBQ joint the Horse Thief at their perfect patio.
After getting their second wind, they’re off to Japanese-American bar, Wolf & Crane for copious shots of whiskey. Last stop of the night, takes them back to Badmaash for their MUNCHIES meal; featuring a monstrous mash up of Canadian and Indian inspired chicken tikka AND butter chicken sauce poutine, lamb burgers, chicken tikka naan pizzas with tomato chutney sauce and a fitting finale with Parle G ice cream sandwiches.

I laughed hard when arjun/nakul said "yeah but youre not tikki tikki", and then it switched straight to there father who sounded exactly like that... "What wanting, You claimed PPI?"

[@julianslavin3896]

I'm so glad somone else noticed.

[@simonlundberg3972]

First chefs in months who whipped up something good after ending up in their own restaurant. I really enjoyed this episode!

[@aychr]

Yeah was getting tired of bowls of pasta

[@NUS7]

Simon Lundberg So true, opposed to mostly all other chefs night, where the poor chefs, gets mad dishes in those restaurants they visited (which give a weird vibe too, like they want to impress vice or some shit), and then nothing in their own places.

Awesome episode with awesome people! This is what Chef's Night Out is all about - people having a great time whilst eating great food. Way to pull it back from the last episode - which was utter boredom.

[@JoHnFLeM]

One of the better episodes in a while. Nice to see some WC action.

[@2CrazEy1]

Holy smokes, I've lived in Los Angeles and never heard or went to any of these restaurants. I've been living under a rock. I think it's time to visit them.

[@jaideepsingh2405]

One of the best Munchies videos yet. Indian food is woefully underrepresented on the channel. These guys seem to be nailing Indian food! Plus there's kingfisher beer for good measure!!

[@jaideepsingh2405]

***** are you out of your mind? Indian food is awesome. So many different flavors. Is just that there isn't a way to cook it fast and as a result it doesn't work for most people (especially Americans). There's plenty of Indian restaurants where I live. Though I suspect that that's probably because I love in India.

[@WaqarK96]

***** Wrong. Indian Food just doesn't have the same exposure as Italian or Mexican, etc. Take UK for example. Indian Food is MASSIVE.

[@georgemcnaughton8238]

***** lol get real man, try some better indian food it's great.

[@IndieVixen101]

Wow I really liked this video. Going to LA soon, would love to try these places.

Gotta try next time i'm in LA! Butter chicken poutine *__*

Repping Torontooooooo! I don't know about that butter chicken sauce poutine, but if you're drunk and down for whatever, which is pretty much what Torontonians are at 3am, could be good. But ain't nothing like shawarma though! God this makes me miss home (Toronto that is)

Poutine is from Toronto? lol. I wonder what came from Montreal. I'm sorry, these guys hilarious.

[@AjAj-of3bq]

+Frost Dasgupta Poutine is from Montreal, he's just saying after a night of partying/drinking or whatever we grab poutines in Toronto. It is one of the goto drunk foods.

[@ktowniecity7269]

Montreal has culture w/Smoked Meat, Sugar Shacks, Wood Fire Oven Bagels, Tourtiere (Meat Pie), Poutine, etc Toronto has immigrants w/Culture from other places

[@AjAj-of3bq]

Ktownie city lol, you sound like your with the Bloc Quebecois, loser!

[@ktowniecity7269]

Torontonians generally have an inferiority complex and want to be American more than anything. Montrealer's have no fuck to give and are not lame twats that call the Army when it snows more than an inch

[@ktowniecity7269]

Lot's of Syrian butt holes for AJ's penis to choose from. The Bloc does it's jobs and scares away the weak to Toronto that can't handle a little snow and culture

[@sebcreative]

Everytime I see people trying to make poutine, they always mess up something even though it's a 3 ingredients recipe. Here the sauce was way too thick and the cheese wasn't cheese curds. But hey, they've got fries at least! haha (but even in Montreal, 9 out of 10 poutine is disgusting. it's really because the good stuff is unbelievable that this meal survives with this much failure rate)
