We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.

Yeow! We’re in the South- our favourite region of this amazing country 😍 As this video goes live we’re out frantically trying to film one more video in Madurai so we can bring you 3 episodes. Where to next? Delhi! Remember to follow along on Instagram stories for real time eating @chasingaplate and if you liked this one we’d love it if you hit the 👍 Thanks for your amazing support guys. Big love, Thomas & Sheena
Go to Tanjore near by Madurai
@Manikarnika Boraa y
That’s my native..
Please try to visit North East India..the region is totally different from other parts of India.
Revathi Praveen sorry to give you cravings mate! Hope you enjoyed eating vicariously through our Madurai series until you can get back there yourself. Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
the way you’re saying kalai vanakkam & nanri is awesome 😍😍😍
@Chasing a Plate – Thomas & Sheena best of luck sir, keep going
😆😆😆 we always love learning a few words in the local language wherever we are- I think it’s rude to expect people to understand English when it’s obviously not their mother tongue. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the rest of our India series. Cheers, Sheena
I love the indian série. Thank you for show us such a beautiful culture. Great hugs from Portugal.
Gracias, love from india.
We’re so thrilled you’re enjoying it mate! It’s so neat being able to film in the South of India- a region we really love. Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you enjoy what we have coming up! Big love to you in Portugal! Cheers, Sheena
Bone marrow omelette, that’s interesting! Never occurred to me, I’ve noted that down.
Neither Bernard Ber! But it was a revelation- so silky and packed with flavour. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you’re enjoying the series. Cheers, Sheena
@Vipin Rahul Wow, that’s amazing. Thanks for letting me know. I love omelettes.
That restaurant where they ate makes a whopping 70 different varieties of omelettes each having distinctive taste.
Welcome to the cultural centre of TamilNadu..
😍😍😍😍 we love Madurai! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoy the rest of our Madurai series. Cheers, Sheena
Waiter: Sir sollunga sir 🤣
Tamil ah neenga
adithya a venkat thanks for explaining mate 😄
Arsen genix thanks so much for explaining 😄
@Chasing a Plate – Thomas & Sheena When you asked what the dish was, The waiter said sollunga which means please tell/inform because he probably didn’t know the name of the dish in English.
He was telling the manager or someone else to explain what the dish was.. he said it in a funny way ..
I could practically ‘smell’ that awesome coffee over my phone😋
😍😍😍 it’s so good! Such a neat little stall too. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, hope you enjoy the rest of our India series. Cheers, Sheena
We really wanna go to South India! My (Greg) stepdad is from there. Love the cuisine from the region that we’ve tried so far
You’d absolutely love it. We recommend it so much. This is our third visit to the south of India and we’ve had the best experiences every time. Hopefully you get a chance to make a trip soon! Thanks for watching this one. Thomas 😀
them south indians r considered 2 b the most friendly souls in indian subcontinent !!!!!!!!!
They are super friendly 😄 I always love travelling in the South for that reason. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate- hope you liked it! Cheers, Sheena
Coffee in South India is always amazing and refreshing in the morning for breakfast. Chikmangalur district in Karnataka State is the hub for coffee plantation and various coffee brands in Karnataka State and other South Indian states.
@Chasing a Plate – Thomas & Sheena anytime. Bangalore, Mangalore and other districts in Karnataka state is a must to visit and you will enjoy 😊.
This is such great information Nigel! Thank you for that. We really have to get there on our next visit. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena
Thomas knows I love when he edits in long distance shots of Sheena blending in with the crowd. It’s kind of a bonus for me! 😀👍👍
*_Amma Mess_* – I read an article and watched a couple of videos. I know you know that the location you visited is the original but the owners have been at their second larger resto in KK Nagar for a few years. It’s a couple of km away. You went to the original because it was convenient, eh? Same menu and run by their son so obviously authentic recipes and techniques.
*_Bun Parotta_* – Sheena had so much fun making the dough balls but then Thomas said some were too small. 😂 Reminds me when Sheena made wok noodles which were delicious but mushy. Thomas said everyone should visit that stall but not to worry because Sheena will *_not_* be working the wok. Hahaha. Good natured and super hilarious. Made me laugh.
*_Excellent day! Quite memorable._*
🤣 the cheek of him! I yelled at him from behind the camera when he said that but the audio didn’t pick it up 😆 It was so fun getting a chance to participate- those guys were super friendly. Yea we went to the original Amma Mess because it was closer to where we were filming and figured since it was in the family all the recipes and techniques would be the same 😄 We would have loved to have returned to sample more of the menu but they were closed over Tamil New Year so we couldn’t get back. It was bad timing and planning on our part as so many places we wanted to film at were closed 😝 So glad you enjoyed this one mate, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
U speak Tamil cutely.. No Nanri…its nandri
😂 that’s what we’re saying… or trying to say. Maybe we’re rolling our r’s too much 😆 it’s fun to practise! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, hope you enjoyed it and like the rest of our India series! Cheers, Sheena
Love how he put that coffee together! He puts on a show really quickly and you get that great foam on top
So much skill. They are able to do it from such a great height! That was a really neat little coffee stall. Just love watching the coffee being made. Great start to the day and video! Thomas 😀
Kalai vankkam & nandri !!!! 😍😍😍😍 U spoke tamil….. awesome my mother language 💥💥💥
Tamizhi.
@Chasing a Plate – Thomas & Sheena pls njoy eating in tamil nadu ….there are more to eat here ….kindly enjoy and learn tamil too 💥💥💥💥💥
😄😍😄😍 it’s always fun to practise Tamil when we’re in Tamil Nadu. We need to visit more often so we can learn more language! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
I was watching and drooling 🤤 at these delicious dishes when my phone got hijacked by my friends and now I’m not the only one drooling 🤤 😂 😂… I did warn them 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’ll teach them! Hope you all enjoyed this one Tanya! Omg those bun parotta and that big meal with that omelette were especially memorable. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Hope you liked it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
I love the way she is smiling all the time and her wishes ” kaalai vanakkam” 😁😁
😄😄😄😄 thanks so much for your kind words abhi nandan- gosh we love Tamil Nadu so much- it’s such a special place. Hope you enjoy the rest of our India series. Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Wow the people of India look so friendly and fun. I think the Iddiyapam and the Bun Parotta are my go for sure. The Parotta reminds me of croissants in pastry flakiness. They probably dont taste like them though. They sure do look delicious😁
Omg yes- so croissant like in their flakiness Kellie 😍 Oh gosh they were good. I find the people in the South especially friendly. People come up to you and start conversations often 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
This is so beautiful. Reaching out to some of the unheard places as well 🙂 Glad you’re back in South India
So glad you enjoyed this one mate! We’re so happy to be back in the South- we adore it. Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you like the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena 😄
Hi Thomas and Sheena, I’m from madurai. Glad to know that you visited madurai. I’m very surprised when you pronounce the dish names very clearly. Keep rocking.
Hi Prashanth Ab, we loved your city so much! It had been on our travel bucket list for years so it was a dream finally getting to visit. We loved the food and the people so much. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoy the rest of our Madurai series! Cheers, Sheena
Wow! Welcome to South India!! ❤️ I hope my fellow Tamilans you meet have been very cordial! I’m glad you’re going so deep into exploration of Food and country! You are awesome 😇❤️
@susheel ranahandola oh you people term if someone from tamilnadu visit north India you will term them as a Madrasi why not Indian………..
@susheel ranahandola I am Always astounded by my fellow Indians who believe in stupid Politicians and National Medias.
Meet the Regional people to know our Patriotism for Mother Language, Motherland, Humanity and Ecological Credibility.
@susheel ranahandola Well there’s a lotta YouTubers who stay and explore North India.. can’t say the same Madurai. A small town in my state.. I’m proud of my state which is a part of India.. I see no reason to detach myself from my nationality. Peace sister 🙏
Mr gokul first learn to be a Indian then say ur Tamil or something else.if ur south Indian then print republic of south India in ur passport don’t mention indian
Hi mate, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely words. We met so many amazing people and ate so well in Tamil Nadu 😍 It’s my favourite state in India. Hope you enjoy our other videos from the south! Cheers, Sheena
