To close out season 2, we’re joined by Chef Gibbs, convener of the Nigerian Food Summit (NFS), to explore the vision behind building a stronger and more unified food ecosystem in Nigeria.

Earlier this year, the NFS invited us to host our first-ever live show, so it’s only right we end this season with the brains and muscle behind the movement to unpack its mission.

Chef Gibbs shares how the NFS was created as a platform for us, by us—bringing together chefs, lawyers, brand strategists, educators, and creatives under one ecosystem to elevate Nigeria’s food industry. Through the NFS, he highlights the power of collaboration between government and industry, fostering visibility and dialogue that can transform Nigeria’s food landscape into a sustainable and globally respected ecosystem.

In this episode, Atim Ukoh, the culinary innovator and educator behind AfroLems, joins Chefs Wu and Chef Vee to explore the power of storytelling in shaping Nigeria’s food identity.

She reflects on how AfroLems began as a personal experiment in Toronto and grew into one of Nigeria’s most influential culinary brands—one that documents, teaches, and reimagines local cuisine.

The conversation traces the evolution of Nigerian food storytelling, from its post-colonial influences to the untold regional dishes that deserve more recognition. Ukoh also shares why she sees food as both culture and communication, how she uses creativity to push beyond convention, and why authenticity must anchor every story we tell.

In this episode, Chef Benedict, an Italian-trained chef famously known as The Custodian of Italian Delights, takes us through his core philosophies on what it means to become a chef.

He unpacks the true meaning of fusion cuisine, clarifying why it requires a deep understanding of multiple food cultures—not just mixing flavours—and shares how he draws on his Italian upbringing to create ingredient-led dishes that celebrate locally sourced produce.

Chef Benedict emphasises that ingredients are king, reminding us that the role of a chef is not to dominate food but to guide it, respecting what each ingredient naturally offers. He also reflects on the importance of patience, craft, and integrity in building a niche restaurant.
