His cooking style was influenced by his Nigerian and American upbringing from a young age. Speaking about his inspiration to become a chef, Remi told the BBC: “I’ve always loved the idea of hospitality and taking care of people. I’m a giving person and I love when guests and other chefs or team members feel and understand how amazing hospitality can benefit you and those around you.
“My family always grew up around food – my mum, both grandmothers and dad were all big parts of my life, food-wise, and always allowed me the opportunity to have a go with them in the kitchen. As long as I cleaned up the mess!”
