Jollof is Back!
Eat.Drink.Lagos & Kitchen Butterfly are back with the second edition of JOLLOF. Last year’s inaugural event at Jaekel House saw food-lovers from all over Lagos come together to celebrate not just Jollof rice, but the creativity of local culinary talent.
This year, the experimental and craftsman’s vibe remains, but they’re making things a bit different. For one, the festival is moving to the Island – they’ll be at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island on August 19th.
The theme this year is not just “Jollof”, but “Jollof and Other Things”. Vendors are invited to create interesting and rich menus inspired by all traditional Nigerian dishes- not just jollof rice. From agbalumo gelato to scent leaf pesto, we’re looking to have the envelope pushed on traditional Nigerian food.
All forms of main meals, appetisers, desserts, sides, drinks, cocktails and snacks are under this umbrella, and you should expect a wide variety of tasty (but not boring) dishes. Nigerian food is some of the richest and most diverse in the world, and it’s about time it gets the credit it deserves.
