In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman heads to Eatopia Restaurant in Johannesburg — a fresh new addition to South Africa’s growing African fusion food scene.
Here, he meets Jennifer, an inspiring entrepreneur who went from selling cars in Braamfontein to serving up bold, pan-African flavours that celebrate both local South African cuisine and dishes from across the continent.
From cow heels (amanqina) and hardbody chicken to mogodu (tripe), Jennifer’s kitchen reimagines traditional African comfort food with modern flair, luxury presentation, and authentic home-cooked soul.
🍛 Nick gets a taste of:
Slow-cooked cow heels with soft steamed bread
Free-range hardbody chicken in rich, spiced gravy
Perfectly clean and tender mogodu (tripe) with deep African flavour
A cross-continental fusion of Senegalese spice and Mzansi soul
Jennifer’s mission? To elevate African cuisine and prove that our traditional dishes belong in elegant, upmarket spaces too. Her restaurant, Eatopia, is redefining African fine dining and making local flavours accessible, whether you eat in or order at home through Mr D.
