About Your Guide

Chef/Owner, Delicious African Orchards

Segun Odofa was born and raised in Western Nigeria, and as young as 10, would cook for his family and the wider Lagos Island community.

Unable to escape his true calling while studying Biology in NYC, Segun soon found himself doing what he loves best- cooking.

In 2015, he founded catering company, Delicious African Orchards (featured on CCTV, NYC News 12, MadameNoire, Amore, Eat Africa), leading to opportunities like cooking for the James Beard House.

Another huge moment came in 2017 at the NYC Jolloff Festival- winning 1st place for his Jolloff Rice served with his famous Buka sauce.
