## America Lo Family Time: Restaurant Edition!

Picture this: The aroma of freshly baked bread, the murmur of conversations in a dozen different languages, and the glint of silverware under warm lighting. You're not in Hyderabad. You're in America, but the feeling of *Kutumbam* (family) is just as strong. We recently took our family, all of us Telugu speaking and longing for a taste of home alongside the excitement of American cuisine, to a restaurant, and it was an experience worth sharing!

It wasn't just about the food, though the food was definitely a major highlight. We’d been craving some *masala dosa* or even just a good biryani, something that tasted like *amma* used to make. But finding authentic Telugu food can be a challenge here in the States, so we settled on a fusion place, a restaurant that promised Indian flavors with an American twist. It turned out to be a brilliant choice.

Seeing the kids’ faces light up as they devoured naan pizzas (yes, you read that right!) and butter chicken mac and cheese was priceless. They were experiencing the best of both worlds – the comfort of familiar spices blended with the playful creativity of American cooking. My wife, who's a culinary whiz herself, was analyzing every flavor, trying to decipher the secret behind the surprisingly delicious fusion dishes.

But more than the food, it was the *kutumbam* time that truly made the evening special. We told stories, laughed at silly jokes, and reminisced about our childhoods back in India. The kids, usually glued to their tablets, were actually engaging with us, asking questions about our heritage and sharing their own experiences of growing up in America. It was a reminder that no matter where we are in the world, the bond of family transcends geographical boundaries.

We even taught our waiter a few Telugu words! He was fascinated by the language and eager to learn. It was a fun way to share our culture and connect with someone new.

The restaurant was bustling, filled with families from all walks of life. Yet, amidst the chaos, we felt a sense of belonging. We were a Telugu family, making memories and celebrating our heritage in a new land.

This experience highlighted something important: America offers the opportunity to embrace both our roots and our new home. It's about finding the balance between the comfort of familiar traditions and the excitement of exploring new experiences. And what better way to do that than over a delicious meal with *kutumbam*?

So, the next time you're craving some family time, ditch the routine and head out to a restaurant. You might just discover a new favorite dish, learn something new about each other, and create memories that will last a lifetime. And who knows, you might even find a taste of home in the most unexpected places.

Maybe next time, we’ll try making those naan pizzas ourselves! Stay tuned... 😉
