Description

Recently, Filipino restaurants have enjoyed a boom in the U.S. -- and I couldn't be happier to spread my love of the cuisine and get to try different approaches to some of my favorite dishes. 

This episode was inspired by a visit to the wonderful restaurant Mineral in Toronto, which features a Filipino tasting menu and cocktail bar worthy of a celebration or date night!
