"The only Nigerian restaurant in San Francisco has since closed and pivoted entirely to catering and cooking classes. For Thanksgiving, you can get your hands on trays of their jollof rice, grilled turkey wings, puff puffs, and more. Pre-order online - pick-up is on November 24th." - julia chen 1

"Showcasing chef Simileoluwa Adebajo’s cooking, Eko Kitchen will present Nigerian cuisine as part of the Pop Up Project." - Dianne de Guzman
"When Grace and Yemi Macaulay set up their food store All Seasons in 2008, it was largely out of frustration, filling what they saw as a vacuum when it came to culturally appropriate African Caribbean foods. The store’s success soon prompted them to establish Eko Kitchen next door, majoring in the stews, swallows, and soups that are hallmarks of Nigeria’s multifaceted cuisine — all cooked by Grace, who is a cancer researcher by trade. There’s edikaikong, from the southeastern part of the country, made with ugwu leaf and water spinach; Hausa suya; and a litany of mucilaginous soups like egusi, ogbono, and efo riro." - James Hansen
"I noted that Simileoluwa Adebajo, who ran San Francisco’s only Nigerian restaurant Eko Kitchen before it closed in 2021, has published a memoir titled Sisi Èkó of San Francisco that goes behind the scenes to share the struggles the restaurant endured." - Lauren Saria
