Highway on My Plate (HOMP) was a weekly show on travel and food. It aired on NDTV Good Times from 2007 to 2013 and can now be found on Amazon Prime Video or repeated on channels. The show was hosted by Rocky Singh and Mayur Sharma, two food enthusiasts who have traveled more than 120,000 kilometers across India in search of memorable eating experiences.
NDTV Good Times' Head of Food Programming, Monica Narula, came up with the idea of showcasing India's unique highway food, and the show was directed by Abhinandan Sekhri and produced by Prashant Sareen. Both of them later co-founded the news critique website Newslaundry. In November 2013, Rocky Singh announced on Facebook that HOMP Hills was the last season and there would be no new episodes.
Over the years, the show has gained a significant fan following due to the natural chemistry and camaraderie between the two hosts. Their 'will-eat-anything' attitude, genuine love for different types of food, and over-the-top and quirky sense of humor have made them beloved among viewers. The show won the 'Best Travel Show' at the Indian Telly Awards in 2008.
In 2011, the hosts released a book titled "Highway on My Plate: The Indian Guide to Roadside Eating," which was honored at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2011 as the Best Celebrity Cook Book.
