I m surprised nobody cited Pune in the topic of vada pavs 😀... Puneris are not far behind ... I do not know the scene now but in 1995 when I did a internship project with Bajaj auto at Nigdi( Pune) , it was a common practice that a few workers there from neighbouring companies such as Telco , Bajaj tempo etc would set up stalls in the evening ... They would dish out the crunchiest and most fluffiest vada pavs served with fried chilli ... A few night shift workers would also serve misal pav in the morning ..
