Definitely agree that Filipino food is at its best the way its made traditionally, but some people in the comments need to learn to appreciate fusion restaurants like this that help our cuisine gain popularity among foreign markets that can find our cuisine exotic and maybe intimidating. As the host pointed out, its fusion restaurants like this that encourage foreigners to explore the cuisine more and eventually seek traditional recipes and learn more about the culture. Also its impressive to see the inventiveness of Filipinos and how theyve managed to bring different cultures together! I think as time passes and more Filipinos find success outside of the home country, I would hope there are more chefs like him spreading our culture positively - traditional or not

I find it comical that people say its not traditional filipino food, or its americanized (rolls eyes. of course its not, that was the intent. yet you go back to alot of the restaurants back in the philippines and its very contemporary with alot of new non traditional foreign influence. Ironically traditional filipino food in itself is Fusion with elements from spanish, chinese, malay and indigenous cuisine. You want traditional food, the best food is at home. You want Socal filipino fusion food head to the restaurants. I commend this guy for doin what he does. it takes guts and alot of passion to bring a cuisine to the next level.

I love how you've gone all over the US for Filipino food, with video titles claiming the best Filipino blah blah. except visiting one of the biggest and earliest settled Filipinos areas outside of the Philippines. Northern California (San Francisco, San Jose and Sac. I'm definitely a bit offended (and maybe you have highlighted the bay area but i haven't seen it) how one can actually do that (video titles clamming the best blah blah. Never the less, Thank for for highlighting Filipino food but don't leave out one of the biggest Filipino populations in the US.

To all Filipinos demanding pure authentic Filipino food, try opening a restaurant and deal with the source of ingredients, appeal of the food, availability, and many more. Try to be appreciative that there are people that want to share the cuisine with other people. Also, to all the people pointing out he used the fork and not the spoon, first of all, hes not filipino. Hes not used to using spoon and fork. Its like when people visit Japan, china or korea. Its not like all of you are proficient in using chopsticks arent you? Just appreciate the video you mdfks.

I have seen many foreigners ENJOYING Sisig. The most recent was in a food court in a mall in the Philippines where this, big probably, American man with tattoos, somewhat intimidating, holding a plastic spoon that looked so small and flimsy in that big strong hand and just digging with concentration, like trapped in that moment thing, into the Sisig (big sized one meant for 2 to 3 regular-sized Filipinos. I'm very happy to see them enjoying sisig. I think sisig will appeal to western palates.

I'm half filipino, but I honestly hate most of the cuisine. Especially for anyone trying to be ripped, just avoid Filipino cuisine. It tastes great, but Filipinos are known for their sweeith tooth, fried food, fatty cuts, etc. Most of their food isn't that healthy. Their healthier options like soursop soup you can just make at home easily. I am impressed at the guy's cooking though. Solid.

I am the next foodie working on it. There is another person in Canada doing it up for the Filipino's already. I take pride in cooking food from around the world because they are so close to who I am and where my ancestors from because I am mixed with many great people. Definitely gonna do it up for the people on a international level.

Why
This dish is kinda Americanized and not traditional because the restaurant's target market is not solely filipinos. The chef should alter the original recipe so that locals from that place won't alienate the dish and would prob make them not to come again. Comment section is prob flamed by Filipino keyboard warriors ugh toxic

I feel like Filipino food needs to be introduced in other parts of the country besides the west coast. I live in Atlanta and theres only 2 actual restaurants in the whole state yet there are 100's of korean and vietnamese restaurants here so it's not a race thing.

we evolve around something everyday right? Quit ranting about fusion because thats the beauty in there when you make a dish that you use the process of fusion. You need to evolve. if you will just sell traditional food do you think it will hit big in the market?
