    In this episode, we sit down with Chef Fregz, a trailblazer in the Nigerian food industry who has spent over 15 making his mark and shaping the industry. He takes us through his journey, from the early days when the role of a chef was often dismissed and met with disrespect, to the stereotypes he had to overcome to be taken seriously.

    We also explore his personal and professional growth, the lessons learned along the way, and why he believes it's more important to chase value than popularity.

    In this episode, we’re joined by OG food blogger Foodie in Lagos (Tai) to explore the impact of social media on Nigeria’s food and tourism industry.

    We unpack the pros and cons of digital influence on the industry, from how restaurants are perceived online to the ways social platforms are shaping food culture and travel trends. We also speak about the importance of government support in bolstering the food and tourism industry.

  • Food Commentary in Nigeria - Critic, Reviewer or Blogger?
    May 26 2024

    This week, we bring you a topic very close to our hearts..To Blog or Critique.

    We take a very constructive look into the current industry by strategically dissecting what it takes to be a credible food critic and a respected food blogger.

    For too long, there has been a lack of intentionality or care behind what people call themselves. We want to make these two positions clear by answering the necessary questions.

    What are the similarities and differences? What is it that causes people to confuse the two? And is it even possible for both to be blended into one? We have decided it's time for this discussion to be had by the people you can trust!
