Nando's, the world's favourite PERi-PERi Chicken restaurant brand, will search far and wide to crown their 2017 South African Champion Griller.
The seventh annual Nando's Griller Challenge will take place on 3 August 2017 and will consist of 14 finalists from across the country grilling for the chance to be crowned this year's champion.
"Grilling PERi-PERi Chicken is an art form and is at the heart of what makes our food so beloved to so many.The Griller's Challenge is an opportunity for them to showcase their considerable talent and reward them for doing things the Nando's way. It is also the perfect time for us to put the knowledge of our Grillers, from across our casas, to the test and reinforce our mission to give our customers the best PERi-PERi chicken in the world." says Doug Place, Chief Marketing Officer at Nando's South Africa.
Since the first PERi-PERi Chicken was grilled in competition in 2011, the Griller's Challenge has become an international phenomenon for Nando's as they ignite a flame of inspiration within each and every Nandoca.
Last year's South African Champion Griller, Mzamo Gumede, will be joining Hilly Biller, Food Editor of Sunday Times, as a judge of this year's event. Mzamo also went on to be crowned the best griller in the world for Nando's after beating 38 finalists from across the world in the finals held in Malaysia last year.
