Bharat Chhabria, Founder
Bharat Chhabria is a Tampa-based serial entrepreneur, with a love for food & flavors found across the globe. Bharat has been known to get on a plane for the singular reason of trying out the culinary scene in a new town. He owns and is involved in multiple restaurant ventures, which are often in the news. Memorializing his "foodventures" via FoodMeBaby is a passion for Bharat; he spends his own money & does not accept any trade or barter from any parties.
Bharat's Foodie Story
Bharat has lived and done business in multiple countries & continents, and insists that food brings people together, everywhere. The better the food, the better the friendships.
On the other hand, global inflationary pressures over the past couple of years have materially impacted the price of eating out. Despite this, flavorful "hidden gems" can be found in every city. In every country. Bharat Chhabria wants to demonstrate that deliciousness doesn't necessarily have to break the bank.
Along came 2024, and Bharat's NYE resolution was to try at least 52 new restaurants in 52 weeks. Now think about that -- an NYE resolution that focuses on eating! His goal is to try restaurants that offer superlative flavors at an approachable price point. This does not mean that fine-dining establishments are excluded from Bharat's list. There will be a sprinkle of fine dining establishments as long as the flavors are outstanding. Ain't nobody got time for boring food. Since Bharat currently lives in Tampa, FL, a large number of these restaurants will be from the Tampa Bay region. But there will be other gems included from his global travels. Bharat Chhabria started FoodMeBaby to showcase his experiences.
The FoodMeBaby Story & Approach
Bharat Chhabria started FoodMeBaby purely as a hobby, a passion project. A means to showcase the amazing restaurants and flavors from his list. He enjoys trying these restaurants and frequently gets friends & family together to hit up a hidden gem. After all, the larger the group, the more menu items the group can try!
Bharat hopes that you enjoy the videos & pictures of his experiences. When he started posting, Bharat's goal was to post media only, i.e., no text reviews. However, based on demands from his friends, he now includes a very short text-based review consisting of Pros, Cons & Conclusion. He strongly believes that we eat with our eyes, and so let the eyes make our decisions.
Last but not least, Bharat uses his own money to enjoy these restaurants. When he visits, the restaurants are not aware that he may post on this website or social media. They only find out if he posts and tags them. He does not ask for or accept any freebies, discounts, barters, trades & such from the restaurants. He does not include any ads or any other sources of income/revenue in his posts & blog. As mentioned above, this is purely his hobby! But he would love to hear from his fellow #foodies on their ideas & favorite restaurants! Contact Bharat Chhabria here...
Eat Well. Be Well.
