IT TAKES ZUU

If Big Zuu was a big plate of food, what would he be? One plate wouldn’t be enough.

“I’ll be a buffet. A world buffet,” he says. “I’m all about choice. There would be a noodle station where you make your own chow mein. Then you’ll go to the pizza station, where you get a handmade fresh dough pizza, then burgers, curries. Everything. All the flavours of the universe in one.”

Big Zuu combines all the ingredients required to be a star. The rapper, presenter, actor and chef is charismatic, genuine, has something to say and an engaging way to say it. Plus he’s making time to talk to The Big Issue even though it’s launch day of the third series of Big Zuu’s Big Eats and he’s been on the promo trail since dawn.
