My favorite ingredients to work with are those local and in season. You’re able to utilize the ingredient in its most organic form and support local peyuvors. This is why I love my hometown of Philly we have some of the best places to get quality ingredients that are not just accessibly to the culinary community. I always hope to reflect in my cooking the value that good quality food should and can be accessible to any and everyone.

Tabachoy

Tabachoy

Tabachoy is a Tagalog nickname given to a friend or family member; it means chubby or fatty. We know it sounds mean, but Filipinos give each other inappropriately appropriate nicknames all the time. Your baby brother’s got some neck rolls? Tabachoy. Auntie’s six months pregnant? Tabachoy. Or your dad’s got a six pack, but just finished his third piece of bibingka? Tabachoy! We cook the food that got us made fun of in elementary school, when we opened our country crock “Tupperware” - the food that reminds us of home. We don't strive to make a better adobo than your mothers, but we do want to share ours with you.
