Food content creator and brain behind Diary of A Kitchen Lover, Tolani Tayo Osikoya aka Chef T, has unveiled the third season of her cooking competition show, Delicious or Disaster, promising viewers a bigger and more exciting experience.
Speaking at the launch, Chef T said the decision to introduce the new season was because of the significant growth the show has recoded.
“Because this is a bigger season, it was a no-brainer to officially announce the Delicious or Disaster brand to the world,” she disclosed.
The chef, who has built a reputation for creating food content that connects with a wide audience, reflected on the show’s humble beginnings, revealing that the first season was produced under challenging conditions.
According to Chef T, however, the Season 3 represents a major transformation for the brand, with a purpose-built studio, increased industry support and a stronger production structure.
“It’s beyond Chef T now. We are starting a movement. We want people to know that we have our own cooking show, our own MasterChef, in Nigeria, by a Nigerian, with Nigerian ingredients, promoting African food to the world,” she said.
Season 3 will see the return of the show’s competitive format, with contestants battling for recognition while facing demanding culinary challenges designed to test their creativity, skill and ability to perform under pressure.
Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Systems, Abisola Olusanya, praised Chef T’s contribution to Nigeria’s culinary space, describing the show as part of the growing movement to promote food culture and tourism.
She also highlighted Chef T’s involvement as the face of the Lagos Food Festival and the role such platforms play in showcasing Nigerian cuisine.
The judging panel parades an array of personalities that include Folagade Banks ‘Mama Deola’, Gbolabo ‘Captain Gibbs’ Adebakin, Opeyemi Famakin, Hilda Baci, Adeola Diadem, Funmi Ajose-Adeogun, Blessing Nze, Timi Agbaje, Omoye Cook, and Tobe Ugeh amongst others.
