Hot Spot Fast Food

We’ve been here on Convent Road in Udupi for quite some time now. It’s a busy little stretch and we just try to keep up with the crowd that comes through. People usually find us when they are heading somewhere else or maybe just walking down the street looking for a quick bite. It’s not a fancy setup. We have the stove going most of the day and the smell of oil and spices usually fills the small space we have here. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded during the afternoons when students or office folks come by, but we manage. My staff and I, we just focus on getting the food out hot. We don't really have a big fancy menu, just the things we know how to make well. The chairs might be a bit old and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it feels like home to us. It’s just Hot Spot Fast Food, nothing more. We see the same faces every day, which is nice. It makes the long hours feel a bit shorter when you know who’s walking through the door. We don't do much advertising or anything like that. If someone likes the food, they come back. That’s how it’s always been for us here. We just open the shutters in the morning and stay until the last order is done. It’s hard work, but it keeps us going. Udupi is a quiet place mostly, but our corner stays active.
