A CULINARY JOURNEY ROOTED IN FAMILY and TRADITION.
The Ebi-Ayo Supper Club is a unique dining series that combines the communal essence of “Ebi” (family in Yoruba) and the joyous spirit of “Ayo” (meaning joy or happiness) to provide guests with a memorable culinary journey. Our 5-course family-style dining merges Nigerian traditions with Italian flavors, aiming to bridge cultural gaps, foster community and enhance relationships through a shared love of food.
Our Story
Ebi-Ayo Supper Club is rooted in my personal journey and the experiences that have shaped my relationship with food. Born in Nigeria, I moved to Columbia, Missouri, with my family in December 1998. The very first meal I had in America was Italian food, an experience that sparked a lifelong curiosity about different cuisines, cultures, and the stories behind them.
Growing up between cultures taught me that food is more than nourishment. It carries history, preserves traditions, and creates connections that transcend borders. Over the years, my travels have taken me to different parts of the world, introducing me to new ingredients, cooking techniques, and culinary traditions that continue to influence my approach to cooking.
Our Menu
Every dish tells a story of heritage, culture, and connection. Rooted in Chef Tayo’s Nigerian upbringing and inspired by his travels around the world, our menu brings together bold Nigerian flavors with global ingredients, culinary traditions, and techniques.
From familiar Nigerian staples like suya, egusi, jollof, garri, and plantain to unexpected interpretations inspired by cultures across the globe, each course celebrates the beauty of bringing different worlds together. Our menu is constantly evolving, reflecting the places we visit, the people we meet, and the stories we share through food.
More than a meal, it’s a culinary journey designed to spark curiosity, create lasting memories, and remind us that there is far more that brings us together than sets us apart.
more than just a dinner.
“I believe culture is precious. I’m driven by my love for storytelling, cooking, and connecting with people. To me, food is a language that brings us together and creates memories. I’m committed to sharing unique moments and stories that touch everyone.” – Chef Tayo
