The launch of the new season took place during a media gathering at The Ark Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. Oluwafemi Ogundoro, Managing Director of Maxima Media Group and Co-founder of Foodbay TV, expressed excitement about what season 4 has in store. He stated, “This season promises a variety of exciting events for both our viewers and contestants. We’re planning street food festivals in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, catering to the Gen Z audience who love indulging in street food.”
Highlighting the unique theme for this season, aimed at fostering a deeper connection within Nigeria, Ogundoro emphasized the potential of authentic Nigerian street food to attract foreign investments and promote food tourism, positioning it as the next big thing in Nigeria. He stressed that street food transcends boundaries and holds the power to redefine the nation’s identity and storytelling, much like the global impact of Afrobeat and Nollywood. The show is already taking steps to showcase Nigeria’s culinary treasures on international platforms.
Speaking about the grand prize, Ogundoro revealed that the winner would receive a substantial cash prize of N10 million, disbursed in stages to support their business growth. He added, “Our sponsor, LG Electronics, will provide essential appliances to aid their business operations.”
