SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – A Shreveport chef is about to compete on the national stage.
Robinson Film Center just announced that the executive chef of Abby Singer’s Bistro, Chef Neima DiGrazia, is set to appear on Food Network’s series, “Beat Bobby Flay.” The episode, which is called “Fight Like a Lion,” is set to air Thursday, May 29 at 8 p.m. on Food Network.
Originally from Sierra Leone, Chef Niema says she draws a lot of her inspiration from the flavors of west Africa, combining those flavors with classical techniques and contemporary Caribbean and southern influences. Chef Niema joined Abby Singer’s in 2024 with her husband, Matthew, who is the chef de cuisine at Abby’s. The two of them have revitalized the menu, adding new dishes that reflect Chef Niema’s background.
