Nando’s, the popular South African international chain restaurant, organised a Master Griller’s Challenge on Saturday in their Gulshan 1 outlet in the city. This month-long competition was held to prepare the Nando’s grillers on Nando’s standard operating procedures ensuring the global standard of its unique and famous PERi PERi chicken.  
Guests were randomly selected from all of the four restaurants and they were also nominated as the ultimate judges for the Master Grillers’ event. Other judges present during the event as food critiques were chef Tony Khan, singer & news presenter Lopa Hossain, musician Sakib, presenter Nabila, musician Rafa, among others.
This was the Bangladesh final round of the International Level which is an annual challenge involving all the grillers around the world of Nando’s licensing territory.
The challenge involved the Nando’s grillers from all of its four branches to create the most authentic PERi-PERi chicken for which they had only fifteen minutes with the whole kitchen at their disposal. The panel of judges assisted in identifying the best griller from the challenge.
The four grillers from four branches were Rezaul (Gulshan-1), Billal (Gulshan-2), Arif (Banani) and Mamun (Dhanmondi). Arif was declared the winner and he will represent Bangladesh in Vancouver, Canada in World’s Best Griller, with an opportunity to gain international exposure and a memorable experience.
