Prior to the D-day there has been so much excitement and robust conversation (within the Lagos Local Guides WhatsApp group) about this meet-up. Therefore, it came as no surprise to see 19 members show up for this meet-up. We obviously couldn't wait to start "business of the day" - tasting, eating some of Nigeria's popular foods such as Ikokore, Ofada Rice, Akara Osu + Koko, Abula with Ewedu + Gbegiri, Asun (i,e cubes of marinated meat and cooked on a skewer with vegetables). All of these aforementioned delicacies under one roof? YES!!!
One interesting thing that happened during this meet-up was having owner of the restaurant walked in and granted us unusual access to the back-end kitchen area. This I believe was done in good fate of allaying the usual scepticism that's often associated with hygienic state of street foods.

Thanks boss @SanyaOdare, it was an unforgettable experience for me being the first meet up i attended as a local guide .
It was really a great feeling to be in the gathering of people with like minds and passion.
And being a food crawl , wow ... I enjoyed every bit of the experience.
I enjoyed every of their recipe of local cuisine however i would not be quick to forget the fluffy Akara osu and the Eforiro . The taste keeps refreshing on my taste buds.
In short ,it was an amazing experience in all.

I was a food crawl to behold and I enjoyed every minute in there. Thanks for bringing in this to us local guides. Having Street foods in a quick service restaurant means we can branch in anytime and have any kind of local meals we so desire for.
