✹CHEF SPOTLIGHT WEDNESDAY | Chef Clifford Correia – CafĂ© BilliBi✹ Every great restaurant has a great story, and every great story starts with someone passionate enough to make it happen. For our very first Chef Spotlight Wednesday, we’re honoured to feature Chef Clifford Correia. With over 30 years of culinary experience, Chef Clifford has built a career founded on passion, discipline, innovation and genuine hospitality. From training under acclaimed French chef Marc Joubert to creating award-winning restaurants and bringing his vision to life through CafĂ© BilliBi, his journey is one of dedication to exceptional food and unforgettable experiences. For VibeCheck Lifestyle, Chef Clifford’s impact goes far beyond the kitchen. He was the very first restaurant owner to give us an opportunity when we were just starting out. His belief in our vision gave us the confidence to keep knocking on doors and building relationships across the hospitality industry. He was also one of the first chefs to agree to be a panelist at our hospitality forum, always willing to support, encourage and give back. Some chefs are known for their food. Others are remembered for how they make people feel. Chef Clifford is both. Thank you for believing in VibeCheck Lifestyle from day one. We appreciate your support and everything you do for South Africa’s hospitality industry. 📍 @cafebillibi New Chef Spotlight every Wednesday. #ChefSpotlightWednesday #VibeCheckLifestyle #CafeBilliBi #ChefCliffordCorreia #SupportLocal

CHEF SPOTLIGHT WEDNESDAY | CHEF WANDILE MABASO This week, VibeCheck Lifestyle shines the spotlight on @chef_wandilemabaso , the chef behind Les CrĂ©atifs. From Soweto to some of the world’s most respected culinary kitchens, Chef Wandile’s journey is a powerful example of what happens when you take your roots with you while learning from the world. His culinary journey has taken him to New York and Paris, where he developed his skills and gained experience in classical French cuisine, including working alongside some of the industry’s most respected chefs. But after experiencing the world, he came home. Through Les CrĂ©atifs, Chef Wandile brings together French technique, international influence and the ingredients, flavours, stories and traditions of South Africa. His approach, which he describes as Afrique Moderne, challenges the idea that African cuisine has to fit into a particular box. It’s refined. It’s creative. It’s deeply rooted in culture. And most importantly, it’s constantly evolving. For us at VibeCheck Lifestyle, Chef Wandile represents the power of taking your heritage and giving it a voice on a global culinary stage. From Soweto to Paris and back to Johannesburg, this is a chef who continues to push boundaries while staying connected to where it all began. This week’s Chef Spotlight belongs to Chef Wandile Mabaso.
