General interest online newspaper, Newspread.ng has introduced the maiden edition of Sabi Chef, a first of its kind, street cooking competition.
The programme is scheduled to take place in Lagos state come December 8.
While speaking about the project, Editor-in-Chief of Newspread.ng, Uche Nnadozie, stated that Sabi Chef, a special African culinary journey, is an event that will celebrate the creativity and passion of regular street food vendors and contestants will be challenged to create mouthwatering street dishes using only everyday ingredients.
“Our show is for the people. It is a pan-Nigerian event that will catalyze into a festival of foods, not just a single dish or item. Ours is also a platform to elevate street ingenuity, creativity, showcase culinary enthusiasts and promote our cultural heritage in a way never seen before.
“Our people love food, we also love to celebrate. All over the country, people walk along the streets grabbing mouthwatering dishes, chewing away and doing their work.
“We don’t want these chefs who brave the odds to provide opportunity for busy people to eat to lose out in better skill honing or providing a podium for their recognition.
“We also want better working tools for them. Better hygiene, and the selling of tourism in our country through our deep culinary choices,” he said.
Winners of the show will be going home with prizes worth millions of naira. Also, other amazing prizes are up for grabs.
