The literally priceless Lentil as Anything phenomenon has taken off like wild-fire, with restaurants in St Kilda, Abbotsford, at Collingwood College, ArtPlay at Birrarung Mar and in Brunswick.

The Brunswick resturant moved to Lygon St recently, but was gutted by fire before even opening. The clean-up is underway, but the Lentil crew is calling for donations - of equipment, time, anything. This new Brunswick site is to include a Learning & Arts Centre, which will be used to train refugees and long-term unemployed in hospitality skills, and give everyone the chance to make music in the music studio.
