Eric Adjepong on Bringing West African Cuisine Into the Spotlight

Eric Adjepong talks about growing up in a West African home in New York City and his early food memories. He talks about always having a sense of his career path and why he chose to pursue degrees in nutrition and public health to supplement his culinary knowledge. Eric talks about his decision to focus on West African cuisine while competing on TV and what it means to elevate the foods of his heritage in the culinary world. He reveals how he met his wife and business partner, Janell, and the keys to an intimate dinner party. Eric shares what he is learning so far about becoming an author of a cookbook and the meaning behind its title. He talks about the hallmarks of West African cuisine and the traditional American staples and practices that are influenced by the African diaspora. Eric shares his reaction to being on Food Network’s 2022 Hot List and his experiences filming Alex vs. America with the Iron Chef Alex Guarnascheli. He talks about competing on the latest season of Tournament of Champions and why it is the most difficult food competition show out there.
