83. Lance Gibbons - SA Chef Conference & Expo 2024
Lance Gibbons is the CEO of SA Chef Media, and along with other players in the industry like FEDHASA and SA Chefs Association, he's put together the SA Chef Conference & Expo which is happening in Cape Town on November 25 & 26. On the cards are talks by Liam Tomlin, Luke Dale-Roberts and Chris Erasmus, as well as an address by Minister of Tourism, Patricia De Lille. One of the hoped-for outcomes of the gathering is a direction for branding South Africa as a food destination to build on our already robust culinary tourism scene. My chat with lance raised some interesting talking-points and it is great to see an initiative being driven to get chefs collaborating on building our food scene further as a global tourist attraction.
