Episode 4
Chicago does not seem to have enough African restaurants, but the ones we do have are fantastic. Ethiopian is the main cuisine you’ll find here but there is some Nigerian, Moroccan and Senegalese sprinkled in there. To up the ante, Dozzy Ibekwe launched a modern west African restaurant to re-introduce Chicagoans to delicious African food. Dozzy moved to the states as a kid, but never forgot his roots and African hospitality.
This episode is the story of how Dozzy Ibekwe went on a mission to learn, understand, and correct the state of West African cuisine in Chicago, launching Dozzy’s Grill, a modern west African restaurant. Let's get fired up!
