There’s no better way to do that than through our Afrobeats Block Party & Jollof Cook-Off—an iconic event hosted across multiple cities. We’ve already turned up the heat in LA and NYC, and now we’re closing the year with a bang in DC! Here’s what’s in store:

The 6 - Country Jollof Cook-Off
At the heart of the event, the Jollof Cook-Off transforms the famed "Jollof War" into an immersive, interactive blind-tasting experience where you hold the power. This high-stakes competition brings Jollof culture to the world stage, inviting you to taste, savor, and vote on each delectable variation of this iconic dish. The goal? To crown the nation with the best Jollof. The stakes? Bragging rights and the prestigious title of Jollof King. More than just a competition, it's the ultimate showdown to finally settle the Jollof debate—in the most objective way possible.
So with that, which country really has the best Jollof? Is it Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Cameroon or Guinea? Don’t believe the hype!! Come and taste for yourself and cast your vote for the country with the best jollof!!
