It comes as no surprise that food and drinks are generally at the top of every Bangalorean’s mind - especially on a Sunday. Bangalore is after all the pub capital of the country! About six months after we did our first Woopathon with the fabulous style divas of the city, Sunday saw the second edition kick-off with the top food connoisseurs coming together for a delightfully sunny afternoon of food, fun and frolic.
Chef Madhu Menon: Prost to that!
The Venue
There was a treasure trove of delicious dishes being served along with some freshly brewed beer at the Prost Brewpub in Koramangala - the venue of Wooplr’s Foodie Woopathon.
Guests & Proceedings
The guests started arriving a li’l before noon. After the introductions, they were served cocktails (made from fresh fruit!) along with Hors d’oeuvre. The connoisseurs were then taken for a tour of the micro-brewery by Prost’s German brewmasters - Jonas& Oliver. This was naturally followed by a beer tasting session.

Goodie bag
We must say that the talking point however towards the end of the event was the Wooplr goodie bag that was filled with products from small businesses. In fact, it became quite popular we even wrote a post on it - What was in that Goodie Bag?.
