Doha: The Open Fire Food Festival, curated and presented by Steve Harvey, brought its signature fiery flavours and eccentric energy to the 15th edition of the Qatar International Food Festival (QIFF) at Stadium 974.

The much-anticipated two-day event kicked off yesterday with a lively panel discussion featuring Harvey alongside renowned Open Fire chefs Melissa Cookston, Moe Cason, and Bob Trudnak. The conversation sparked cheers and laughter from the crowd as the speakers shared insights on grilling, cultural connections, and their personal culinary journeys.

“I came up with the Open Fire Food Festival a few years ago. I’m always trying to find ways for us as a people, no matter what your faith is, no matter what your religion, no matter what your country, that you live in, we got to start finding similarities in each other instead of always looking for differences,” Harvey said while discussing food as a universal common ground.
