A celebrity Lebanese chef, Mohammad Baydoun, popularly known as Amazing Chef, has opened up on the reason he relocated to Nigeria to pursue his culinary career.

The accomplished restaurateur disclosed that he moved to Nigeria because he got a job in Lagos.

Speaking during an interview with The Guardian, he expressed his fondness for the dynamic atmosphere and the country itself.

“I moved to Lagos because I got a job offer. I like the vibe and the country. It has this amazing vibe and I have what it takes to match the energy,” he said.

Speaking on why he enjoys working in Nigeria, he highlighted the country’s favorable conditions such as rich soil, clean air, and quality water, which contribute to the growth of exceptional fruits and vegetables.

His words, “I like to work in Nigeria because it has good soil, air and water which helps to grow amazing fruit and vegetables and they also have amazing meats,”

Renowned as ‘Amazing Chef’ on social media, he relocated to Nigeria in 2018 and swiftly developed a fondness for Amala, Gbegiri, and Ewedu.

His love for these traditional Nigerian dishes grew when he witnessed an elderly lady expertly preparing them from scratch during his attendance at a Lagos party (Owambe).
