The popular Sabi Chef street food cooking competition, organized by Newspread.ng in partnership with Maxx Connection Ltd, is gearing up for its second edition in November. The event aims to celebrate and elevate Nigeria’s rich street food culture while offering street food vendors the chance to win exciting prizes.
According to Newspread.ng CEO, Shola Ewuola, the competition is designed to recognize the often-overlooked culinary talents of street food vendors, whose work is integral to Nigerian heritage. He emphasized that street food is more than a source of sustenance but a reflection of creativity and resilience that fuels both the local economy and cultural identity.
“This competition will break stereotypes around street food by not only highlighting the joy it brings but also ensuring vendors learn best practices for preparing food safely,” Ewuola said.
Chef Joy Ogbidi, the brand ambassador for Sabi Chef, stressed that maintaining high standards of cleanliness is crucial to celebrating street food, promising that the event will promote both creativity and hygiene in food preparation.
