Highway on My Plate (HOMP) was a weekly travel and food show that aired on NDTV Good Times between 2007 and 2013, and is now available on Amazon Prime Video or repeated on channels. It was anchored by food enthusiasts and childhood friends Rocky Singh and Mayur Sharma, who have together traveled more than 1,20,000 kilometres across the length and breadth of India over the course of seven years in search of memorable eating experiences. The show was based on NDTV Good Times' Head of Food Programming Monica Narula's idea to showcase India's unique highway food and was directed by Abhinandan Sekhri and produced by Prashant Sareen, both of whom later co-founded the news critique website Newslaundry.^[1][2] In November, 2013, Rocky Singh announced on Facebook that HOMP Hills was the last season and there will be no new episodes.

Over the years the show has garnered quite a fan following due to the natural chemistry and camaraderie between the two hosts as well as their 'will-eat-anything' attitude and genuine love for different sorts of food and their over-the-top and quirky sense of humour. The show won the 'Best Travel Show' at the Indian Telly Awards, 2008.^[3] In 2011 the hosts came out with a book titled Highway on My Plate:The Indian Guide to Roadside Eating^[4][5] which has been honoured at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2011 as the Best Celebrity Cook Book.^[6]
