Masedi Mabe (25), Freelancer, A Burgersmith, Johannesburg
Signature dishes: Chicken pesto pasta, his Pink Panther burger.
Favourite heritage food: Mogodu and Skop (afval/ sheep’s or cow’s head).
Introverted and sincere, Masedi loves street food, saucy food and loaded burgers. He loves burgers so much, he started his own burger joint, Bun2Belly. He doesn't have a specific cooking style but is a gastronomer at heart.
Guided by a strong moral compass and with traditional values, he wants to fuse the African cuisine he grew up with other cuisines. His greatest influences are chef and restaurateur Wandile Mabaso, entrepreneur and cook Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane, the late Lesego Semenya and Sven Ritz Mann.
