Jollof Rice War
My City Speaks To Me captures culture and flavour at this Calgary Food War
In celebration of Black History Month and part of the Ethnik Festival of Arts and Culture, witness the emergence of jollof rice royalty!
“This is a special kind of rice cooked with different ingredients and tomato sauce,” says co-host Diella Ocran. “It’s sure to wake up your taste buds to bring back memories from the motherland.”
Calgary Food War is a new show from My City Speaks To Me’s Lanre Ajayi. Its inaugural food competition took place on February 22 at the ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen, putting an end to the subtle culinary war over jollof rice between these West African Nations.
Tune into this battle of the chefs between Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, and Senegal as the competitors cook up greatness.
