Since secondary school, street food has been a part of my life because I grew up in Elupeju here and there was this legendary suya spot I frequented so I knew every food vendor in Elupeju.

Street food is actually a lot about favour because it’s like maximizing flavour but it’s accessible. Street food has become like people’s brands and businesses.

From hawking to having a once spot etc it has now become a major thing even around the world.
