Johannesburg

Johannesburg, South Africa, has gained an international reputation as a cesspit of crime, lawlessness, and inner-city decay. Regardless, Kamini travels to the city to discover how food is changing how Johannesburgers think about their hometown. Her guide is food blogger Jono Hall whose blog All You Can Eat for Free is a rambling monologue about life, love, food, and the occasional recipe. After a meet-up at the well-known Neighbourgoods Market, Kamini and Jono travel to Soweto, where they taste the African delicacy of sheep’s heads, and Kamini takes a bungee jump off the famous Orlando Towers!

Continuing their African odyssey, they travel to the misunderstood Yeoville, where African immigrants are bringing color to the inner city through their food and dresses up for a turn at The Wknd Social, a day party with good food, great fashion, and even better music! No trip to Johannesburg is complete without a trip to Fordsburg, where the spicy flavors of the East are sampled. Kamini rounds off her adventures with a visit to the Maboneng Precinct, where Jono’s Food Hall pop-up dinner is in full swing. Kamini discovers a city starting to regenerate and reawaken to its own potential; all brought about by food.
