The Grill Master Class was done by Grill master Grind. (GMG). “ We put together a once in a lifetime experience for Lagosians and even tourists to come and bask in and savour a real, exquisite feast of flavours.
This year’s event had over 2,000 people in attendance. We paid attention to detail, and improved on the last edition. I can’t wait for everyone to witness the next Grill and Bbq Festival.’’ Francis Ebie, Chief Coordinator of the event, says monitoring and observing the different ways the barbecue festivals are done in different countries of the world, and implementing the best experience, infusing it with our own culture and ways of doing things made this year’s event even better. Attendees participated in games which included who can eat the hottest wings. The winners of these contests went home with great prizes courtesy of the sponsors and organizers.
The Lagos grill and bbq festival supported the Ayabime Okpoh Sicklecell foundation, a NGO that supports people with sickle cell, raising awareness and providing free Medicare for the less privileged sickle cell warriors in Nigeria.
