In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman heads to Southfield, Cape Town, to uncover a massive local secret at The Chilli Bar, a legendary institution that has been keeping the city's nightlife and food scene buzzing for 37 years! πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸŒΆοΈ

Most Capetonians know The Chili Bar for its epic music, live bands, and long late-night queues stretching through Southfield. But what many don't realise is that behind the DJ box lies a kitchen serving up what the comment section claims is the absolute best bunny chow in South Africa, giving Durban a real run for its money!

Nick sits down with the family to unpack their incredible 37-year journey, starting from a tiny cafΓ© opened by his mother in the late 80s after moving from Athlone. Today, they are staying true to a relentless hard work ethic. Everything is made from scratch, no canned ingredients, fresh morning market runs daily, and traditional curries cooked to the rhythm of loud music and pure passion.

🌢️ Nick gets stuck into:
πŸ₯© The Legendary Mutton Bunny Chow – A quarter loaf of hollowed-out white bread packed with slow-cooked, deeply flavorful mutton curry
πŸ§… The Signature Carrot & Onion Sambal – A perfect, refreshing crunch to balance out the rich gravy
πŸ₯£ Extra Curry Gravy & Potatoes – Drenched to absolute perfection with their unique family spice blend
πŸ”₯ The Red Curry Masala Mix – A South Indian inspired, aromatic blend of fresh ginger, garlic, and garam masala

Unlike tomato-forward Durban curries, The Chili Bar serves up a unique, warming South Indian flavor profile that builds up a beautiful kick, instantly melting the Cape winter away. It’s a masterclass in culinary legacy, high quality, and cooking with love.

πŸ”₯ Does this Southfield legend actually serve the best bunny chow in Cape Town?
🌢️ Can a South Indian style Cape Town curry beat a traditional Durban masala?
