Konings van Kitskos is a South African food show created by CoolerBox Brothers. In this energetic and entertaining travel and food series, Gerhard Steyn, South Africa’s beloved Afrikaans pop star known as Baby Tjoklits, teams up with actor and comedian Alvin Bruinders to explore the country’s most unique and mouth watering fast food spots.

Together, this dynamic duo have visited more than 260 restaurants across South Africa in their search for the best local takeaways and hidden gems the nation has to offer. By the time they reached restaurant number 182, the two decided it might be time for a diet show. They each took on the challenge, lost around 30 kilograms, and later returned to finish their journey across the country with even more energy and appetite.

From roadside diners to quirky eateries, they uncover the weird and wonderful flavours that make South African cuisine so unforgettable. Each episode of Konings van Kitskos serves up laughter, surprises and plenty of delicious discoveries, from tackling the hottest chilli to indulging in the most decadent milkshake. It is a full on battle of the taste buds as Gerhard and Alvin compete to find the ultimate guilty pleasure and crown South Africa’s true King of Fast Food.
