Ugandan culture and heritage stood out at the 2024 Washington DC Embassy chef challenge, a global culinary event held at the 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 which was selected by a panel of culinary and cultural judges.

“We are pleased to support this event which provided an opportunity to take Uganda to the world allowing guests to experience our food, culture and Uganda Waragi, a high quality, rich premium gin made in Uganda,” he said.

The cultural exchange established Embassy linkages with other Diaspora communities in the United States of America through a showcase of Ugandan cultural, commercial and culinary craft through food and drinks.
