The Hammy Eats Stamp of Approval is more than just a badge. It is a promise. When you see the stamp at a restaurant, café, food truck, or local kitchen, it means Nick Hamman and the Hammy Eats team have personally experienced it and can vouch for its flavour, quality, and heart. It is a sign of trust, rooted in real storytelling and lived food culture.
From the beginning, Hammy Eats has been about more than eating. It has been about people, families, communities, and the stories that make South African food so special. The Hammy Eats Stamp of Approval celebrates the small kitchens, the family owned shops, the shisa nyama around the corner, and the hidden gems that keep our culture alive. When you choose a Hammy approved spot, you are not only enjoying a good meal, you are supporting someone’s dream and investing back into the community.
