Segun is absolutely incredible! We came in expecting to contribute to the rice but it was a pleasant surprise to get some sweat equity into all 5 courses. I loved learning about the origins of Jollof rice from another Nigerian to corroborate things I’ve learned from West Africans over the years.
This man knows his craft, entertains well, is extremely generous and hospitable, and so fun! He’s also a wealth of knowledge on Brooklyn and has had a storied career in culinary spaces.
Would 10/10 recommend the experience and the food, we must say, also slapped. Best pepper soup I’ve ever had and you can easily see why the Jollof is award-winning, too. I won’t give away all of the secrets but there are some other pleasant surprises as well at the conclusion of the event.
Finally, he went above and beyond to make an incredible experience for what ended up being a private event experience for me and my date before I had to get on a flight. You won’t regret this experience one bit!
