In an interview published by Afreximbank TV during CANEX WKND 2024, Abiola Akanji, known widely as Chef Stone, is introduced as a chef, restaurateur, author, founder of Red Dish Chronicles Culinary School, and an ambassador of West African cuisine. The conversation places his work inside a broader creative-economy setting, where food is treated not just as hospitality, but also as identity, storytelling, and cultural export.
