reStore, a non-profit organization (in the making), is running an interesting food festival this Feb 16th (saturday) between 5:30pm and 8pm.

They are promoting the importance of millets as staple food, trying to revive the millet-based-food varieties, and importantly suggest the nutritive and health advantages of replacing millet-based foods in place of junk food in your diet.

Attend it if you will be in chennai, If I am right, its a free-for-all fest, but you can Call 94440 07649 for food passes and find out.

The event is organized by some socially excited citizens, many of whom happen to be bloggers and orkutters .. so its also about network-ing, and you can expect to meet cool folks.

And its happening not far from the city, at prime-spot Shastri nagar, Adyar.
