“The best varieties on show will be given a certificate of excellence. If Bihari food gets rated the best, it will not only make the country proud, but street food vendors of the state too will feel encouraged,” said Dinesh Kumar to HT.

Dinesh Kumar, who hails from Darbhanga district, started selling 'bhelpuri' near the Patna Museum in the early 2000s. His tryst with 'littis' began in 2003 when he set up a stall at Dak Bungalow road and his business went skyrocketing, to the extent that NASVI invited him to take part in the Manila grub fest.
