Chef Damu's Thalaivan Virunthu re-connects Tradition with Health at GRT Grand

Over the recent years, the food scene in Chennai has opened up a plethora of opportunities, innovation and exploration to those seeking something out of the ordinary. People are no more reluctant to try out the different cuisines and have learnt to appreciate the unorthodox. From kaiyendhi bhavans to elegant star hotels, there has been a constant evolution to keep up with the trends and competition. However the city, known to be rooted in tradition, has sometimes moved too far along in trying to appease the palates of the Gen Z & the Millennial. That’s why food festivals that turns back the spotlight on the rural recipes & old methods of cooking is significant to retain cultural relevance & revival amongst the younger generation.
