Food brings people together and makes them feel at home, no matter where they are in the world. As a Nigerian immigrant who has lived in Chicago, Seattle, and Austin to name a few, I understand this deeply, I feel it in my bones. In this episode of the Zero Generation podcast, I sit down with Bawo Oyowe, the owner of Little Lagos, a Nigerian restaurant that has become a cultural ambassador in Atlanta for the vibrant and delicious cuisine of my homeland.
Bawo shares his fascinating journey, from learning to cook alongside his mother who nourished their community with her meals, to taking a chance on entrepreneurship after a serendipitous encounter with a Korean developer. His story is one of resilience, innovation, and an unwavering belief in the power of following your passion. Despite numerous business ventures that didn't work out, Bawo persevered, drawing strength from his immigrant experience of collective struggle and support.
Little Lagos stands as a testament to Bawo’s determination and his desire to share an authentic taste of Nigeria with the world. As he reflects on the challenges of maintaining high service standards and consistent product sourcing, I’m inspired by his openness to new ideas and willingness to embrace evolving food trends.
