There's something magical about a meal that brings people together. Whether it's around the braai, the dinner table, or at a celebration, food has a way of creating memories that last a lifetime. This #FunFoodFriday, we turn up the heat with one of South Africa's most celebrated fire-food specialists, Chef Biggy, also known as Martin "Biggy" Mhlongo. From television screens to some of the country's biggest events, he's built a reputation for transforming simple ingredients into unforgettable culinary experiences while celebrating authentic South African flavours and hospitality. Join us as we unpack the story behind the flames, the passion behind the plate, and what it really takes to build a food brand that's become synonymous with bold flavour, community, and unforgettable experiences.
