Pav bhaji, pal kova, thattu idli and murukku sandwich – words that can make any foodie drool. How would you like these served with a fistful of spicy stories? Stories of people and their passion for food, of food fetishes that are as laughable as thought provoking, and of recipes that are jealously guarded secrets.
Join us on a walk through the streets of Chennai’s Sowcarpet, and we’ll get you to sample the best of local food. And that is just for starters. We’ll show you how a morsel of food could hide a million pointers to the way of life of a people. Join us as we delve into profoundly philosophical questions – how did our food turn so spicy, or why are we so sweet obsessed?
The food trail through the busy streets of Sowcarpet is guaranteed to be an assault on your senses. Come if you love a foodie adventure, and come when you are very, very hungry.
