Cravings Again

Asides moments of poetry in my life, food cravings play a huge role in it. When i was in vienna i craved nigerian food, when i left i craved the Doner kebabs and the sausages. when  I moved to nigeria, i craved good ole american bbq and fastfood settings.

Cravings ! Cravings!  Cravings.. i probably spend more than 30 percent of my internet time on food and food research. You know some times i wish i had gone to school for it, but then it may not be as interesting discovering new techniques and spices and also thats the best excuse for the blunders.. "hey i studied accounting"


fastfarward to now

KaiserKrainer  Is the KING of Sausages. I cant even begin to describe what it is or what it tastes like but i am googling recipes and i am definitely going to attempt to make it.

Google it and read for your self

1st Annual Ns1463 Cook out :)

it was all a dream

one of those moments u sit back and ask yourself if this is real?  Is this really real?  with little experience and no true training we are running a nice BBQ spot. First of its kind in lagos.. no fluff.. no pretense .. no glam.. straight good bbq.  its indeed a good feeling and we  continue to get mad love  for that we are super super grateful.


Much love

Our First Ordinary Sunday

Well since we are a new restaurant, everyday is gonna be new to us, we had our first sunday and we were thinking we were gonna be swamped like the opening.  it was relatively chilled out customers trickled in n out, a few couples came to dine in. Folks are getting the vibe of the spot, most orders were take out  so thats solid, we had a surprise pass thru by dbanj and a few other artist on their way to the beach.

didnt take any pics but this was taken by the staff, i was asking for a marker pen so Banj can tag our wall.

which he did, will have to take a pic of that n put up.

3 Cousins Phone Dump

So i decided to go thru my phone and dump a few pics taken on here. :) so many memories not captured but good thing is we got a few.

This was sent to me on bbm. KTA did a lovely job 

This pic was taken and our pitmaster converted it to black and white and it made a whole lot more sense

Peaceful. This was initially the back entrance but we needed ppl to see the view and love it so it became our front view

Close your eyes and allow us to carry you away to a peaceful serene place where bob marley sings to you. talking about we" jamming"

Ok this was probably early june or late june. we were still renovating and trying out recipes

The Menu Board installed

Unfortunately the wind is breaking the plants but they still look fab tho

Renovation complete minor issues like the floor to address

So while driving home in stupid traffic, a street vendor was selling this parrot and i said to myself why not? 3cnc needs a gate keeper and an enforcer. so pls allow me to introduce you to the OFFICIAL 3cnc Enforcer and Gate Keeper. you should be very very scared

Solution to the floor

lets see how long it will keep

Home of the Crook

Once we are permitted to take a picture of the Crook. This is where we are gonna put it

babajide about to sign the wall of fame. He came all the way from connecticut. so if you see him make sure you give him a hi 5

Even the chicken enjoyed the Turkey 

not sure why i wasnt shocked by this ?

The day of the opening, none of us had a good handwriting so we had to get a professional to help us with the menu.
