To celebrate World Jollof Rice Day, Bistrot Samantha invites chefs, home cooks, food creators, food media and passionate jollof lovers to bring their best pot of jollof to the table. This is not a competition—it is a relaxed tasting and storytelling experience celebrating the many ways jollof is cooked, remembered and enjoyed. Guests will taste different interpretations, exchange ideas and take part in a short filmed conversation: “Why Jollof Is Not Simply Tomato Rice.” Come with your signature jollof, the story behind it and an appetite for good food and meaningful conversation. You do not need to be a professional chef to participate. Date: Saturday, 22 August 2026 Time: 12:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. Venue: Bistrot Samantha, 7/12 Rumens Road, Ikoyi, Lagos Expect jollof tasting, ingredient stories, conversations, food photography and content-creation opportunities. Limited spaces available. Participants bringing jollof should prepare a tasting portion suitable for sharing.
