Your Big Easy!

and lifelong friends said Sababu’s meticulous implementa­tion of ideas are reasons Your Big Easy will become Trenton’s mecca for fine dining. Sababu said he has rock-solid financial backing and plans to use his success in Trenton to expand his vision to South Beach, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.

“I have known Olugbala for nearly two decades, and he helped me set up shop for my book business at a restaurant he and his brother, Amefika, operated in Trenton’s west ward. They took me under their wings, and Olugbala has been a supporter of and contributo­r to many individual­s’ and organizati­ons’ growth and developmen­t ever since,” said Tim Razzaq, a longtime community organizer and green jobs advocate. “I see him continuing and expanding on that legacy with his latest venture, Your Big Easy, and I am honored and excited to be working very closely with him to bring about positive and catalytic events and activities in downtown Trenton.”

“His food is a home run,” said Dan Toto, one of his longtime friends.

The Trentonian will continue to cover Your Big Easy as Sababu works around the clock to usher in a new era of Gatsby on South Warren. Until then, here are the master chef’s ideas to make his place the exception to the rule that businesses open South Warren Street only to die a quick death.
