Ugandan culture, heritage, and Uganda Waragi shone at the 2024 Washington DC Embassy Chef Challenge, a global culinary event held at Union Station, 50 Massachusetts Avenue.

A total of 23 embassies, including Uganda, China, Malawi, and Morocco among others, gathered to compete for the People’s Choice Award and the Judges’ Choice Award, selected by a panel of culinary and cultural judges.

The event highlighted Chef Sentie Kironde, a renowned Boston-based Ugandan diaspora chef. Chef Kironde and his team set up the Ugandan stand at the event, serving some of Uganda’s signature cuisines, including steamed fresh matooke, katogo (roasted goat meat stew), steamed groundnut luwombo for vegans, garden vegetables, brewed Ugandan coffee, and an assortment of Uganda Waragi sundowner cocktails. The Ugandan stall attracted over 1,000 guests who sampled the menu.
