"Food is story." Loved being on CBS sharing the heart behind @FoodRootsFilm — and how that journey through culture, family, and heritage helped inspire the dishes, design, and details behind @SundaNewAsian.

70,000+ Capiz shells indigenous to the 7641 Islands of the Philippines where my family is from form an angelic halo of traditional Filipino craftsmanship and island culture — bringing warmth, texture, and a sense of deep heritage and love into our new home of Sunda Detroit
