Is your appetite huge enough for the giant dishes you're sure to have spotted on social media? Choose from these extra-large eats

Who among us doesn't remember switching on our non-HD televisions in the late '90s and 2000s in a bid to journey into the riveting world of food that expanded way beyond our borders. One such show that not only rocked the ratings of the channel it aired on in the US, but also kept Indians glued to their seats was Man vs Food. You'll have to agree that it was fun to watch popular host Adam Richman gorge on insane eats. Though largely hinged on competitive eating, the episodes often featured Richman exploring giant portion sizes of food. And it's just one of those things that doesn't go out of style, like the little black dress and wine. So, we roped in chefs at restaurants, the owner of an iconic South Indian eatery and the second-generation proprietor of a 44-year-old sandwich joint in Borivali to give us the lowdown on the biggest treats available at their establishments. If gluttony could truly take you to hell, which one of these would you sin for?

A table long dosa
Can you imagine eating a dosa that is of the same length as the average height of a pre-teen? At this iconic South Indian eatery, the family dosa (R279 for plain; R292 for masala) is four-feet-tall and meant for sharing. Dakshinayan's co-owner Hemul Gandhi explains, "People like these fancy things and when they see this dosa, they are in awe. So, we started serving this variant in 2010."
