Filipino cuisine to be featured in LA Food Bowl
The month-long culinary fair of Los Angeles, the Food Bowl, which celebrates the city’s influential food scene will be featuring Philippines’ very own cuisine.
In a report published by Inquirer, among those who will be leading the curation of Filipino program is Fil-Am chef Alvin Cailan of Eggslut, Unit 120, and Amboy. According to Cailan, “We were among the first people approached which is an honor, because of what we’ve done in the past year. Being that we have a high caliber and talent of chefs, we are actually one of the cultures and cuisines that really make an impact in the bowl, so to speak,” said Cailan to Asian Journal.
Other Filipino chefs who are part of the Food Bowl are Pastry chef Isa Fabro, Chase and Chad Valencia of LASA, and Rice Bar’s Charles Olalia. Some ideas planned to be present during the said fair would be street food, pastries, lechon, and multi-course dinner among others.
Cailan urged Filipinos abroad to attend the festival to see the Filipino cuisine be in this prestigious food fair.
