I had to satisfy my cravings for wings yesterday so off I went to Bbq & Cravings after work. I had earlier planned to visit just to say a big thankyou to them for bringing burrito bowls so close to me (See post: Tex-Mex comes to me) and this felt like the right opportunity.
This picture of Bob Marley at the entrance gets me all the time!
Luckily, Olumide (owner) was in, we said our hellos, sat down and I said my thankyou….he was happy to know their new meal was making customers like me happy. We talked for a bit but I am just going to give the gist in highlights….
- He is very passionate about food….serious food lover!
- I asked if we would be having new cravings added to the menu from time to time and he said Yes! Yaaay to that! Really can’t wait for what’s next…
- NO, he did not go to some fancy school to learn how to make barbecues, he read books, watched videos, experimented and developed his own recipes.
- Fela’s song ‘zombie’ started playing at some point and because I am too sure I bob my head to some Fela jams everytime I am here, I asked if he was a fan…..Yes, he is a big Fela fan, he even used to make t-shirts a few years back and a lot of were Fela inspired.
- Favorite meal? He craves different things at different times….apparently he had gone to eat party style jollof rice somewhere in Lekki phase 1 just before I came because he felt like it but Yes he likes: afang soup with periwinkles , soft plantain, garri & groundnut…..
We also talked about the GTBank Food & Drinks Fair, the blog (I got tips *big smile*), Bbq & cravings discounted breakfast platters on saturday and then it was time to go home….
Funny part….I totally forgot about my wings. I sat in the car wanting to have atleast 2 wings before moving and there was nothing….had to go back for these goodies….
