Once upon a time in the vibrant city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, a passionate and ambitious entrepreneur named Eniola Egbeyemi embarked on a culinary journey that would forever change the landscape of Nigerian cuisine in Canada. In 2015, she established a small afro fusion catering business called Spiceupbenny, bringing a unique blend of flavors and spices to the local food scene.
Eniola, a native of Nigeria, grew up surrounded by the rich culinary traditions of her homeland. Her love for cooking and her desire to share the authentic taste of Nigerian cuisine with others fueled her entrepreneurial spirit. With a deep-rooted passion for food, Eniola experimented with blending traditional Nigerian recipes with modern cooking techniques, creating a harmonious fusion of flavors that would tantalize taste buds and leave a lasting impression on all who experienced it.
The name "SpiceupbyEnny" was a reflection of Eniola's initial vision, as she aimed to add a touch of spice to the lives of her customers. Through word-of-mouth recommendations and her commitment to delivering exceptional culinary experiences, Spiceupbenny quickly gained a loyal following in Winnipeg. Eniola's delectable dishes, featuring vibrant colors, bold spices, and fresh ingredients, became the talk of the town.
As the demand for her unique culinary creations grew, Eniola realized that it was time to expand her business to a larger market. In 2021, she made the bold decision to relocate to Toronto, Ontario, where she saw even greater opportunities to showcase the diversity and richness of Nigerian cuisine. Along with the move came a fresh rebranding effort, and thus, Chopped and Spiced was born.
Chopped and Spiced, with its name inspired by the meticulous art of chopping ingredients and the vibrant flavors of carefully crafted spices, aimed to conquer the hearts of Torontonians. The decision to establish roots in this diverse and vibrant city was driven by Eniola's desire to bring the taste of Spiceupbenny's success to a wider audience, providing an unforgettable dining experience for food enthusiasts in the Greater Toronto Area.
The journey of Chopped and Spiced continues with the same core values that shaped its early beginnings: a commitment to culinary excellence, a passion for using the freshest ingredients, and an unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. The menu, carefully curated to represent a fusion of global flavors and culinary traditions, promises a symphony of tastes that will leave patrons craving more.
