When It Matters: A Night Out with Weego

Some nights you just don't want to drive. In this episode on his YouTube channel, Jeff Koinange plans a fine-dining night out with a friend before one of them heads home, and nobody wants to drive.

So Jeff books the ride on the WEEGO app. Once they are settled in the back seat, the verdict is quick. When was the last time either of them took a taxi? "It's been years." No traffic to fight through, no parking to find, just a comfortable ride across town while the banter flows. "I go, you go, we go" becomes the running joke of the evening.

The destination is the JW Marriott in Nairobi, in one of the tallest buildings in the city, for a night of Japanese-inspired fine dining. The chefs take over from there. First comes a spread of sashimi, with tuna, salmon and octopus, and rolls topped with cream cheese and sriracha. Jeff insists his guest put down the fork and pick up chopsticks.

Then it is the turn of the yakitori: pork, chicken and lamb skewers cooked over charcoal with real butter for that smoky flavour, served with jasmine rice. As someone at the table jokes, that's "African intelligence."

The episode is a light-hearted look at what a stress-free night out should be: plan it, book the ride, and leave the driving to someone else. No parking stress, no worrying about the drive home after a long dinner, and more time for good food and conversation. It is Jeff at his most relaxed, swapping the studio lights for city lights.
