Now that greasy French fries and creamy pizzas have been shown the door, food-on-the-go in Chennai has taken on a new hue. Step into Tibbs Frankies outside Nilgiris Supermarket on Poonamallee High Road and dig into some healthy, yet filling, nosh. Pick up these delicious wraps—made with roti (Indian bread) and a filling of your choice, such as, Schezwan gobi, or egg and chicken—from one of their many carts placed outside most big stores across the city.

After a hectic bout of larder-loading from Spencer’s (Mount Road) answer your tummy call with a juicy hot dog dripping with mustard sauce or mayonnaise from any of the Hog Dog outlets. You could munch on one of these while watching Shah Rukh fill the screens in Satyam Cineplex.

While in Chennai you are bound to stumble upon the ubiquitous stalls of Mr Burger Man (adjacent Stella Maris College). Sprinkled all across the city, outside stores or malls, these make-shift kiosks dish out the best burgers: a fabulous combo of crunchy cutlets, creamy mayo and spicy chilli tomato sauce.

If you’ve missed munching on corn at the Marina beach here’s your chance to catch up. Head to any of the Hot and Spicy Corn stalls (Royapettah), choose the flavour you desire and lose yourself in the tenderness of the corn. Salted butter, tangy lime and masala, spoon after spoon, that you can’t help licking.

Mouth watering eh?
