My favorite vegetarian dish: tomato jam and egg! A quick, delicious meal my mom used to make. Tomatoes, onions, soy sauce, egg, over rice. Pure comfort.

A quick trip to Chicago means you have to maximize your time. Made an effort to see as many of the Abengers as I could. 🤣

With it being Filipino American History Month, spending time with all these amazing people (and still missing quite a few) really proves that true family and friends can withstand the test of time, no matter what.

This is what community looks like. No bullshit, no fake people.

Sssst! 😗 It’s been a crazy summer and we kinda ghosted y’all, but ULAM is back. We’re popping up this Saturday outside of @sidepractice.coffee and @kanin.chi to celebrate FAHM.

Keeping it classic this time. Dragging out the @thaancharcoal grill, firing up some skewers, and throwing a little Saturday BBQ with Kuya and Ate. Come hang, eat some good food, and catch up with us 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

RAPID FIRE Q's

Spam Musubi vs. Loco Moco? Kauai vs. Chicago? Rice vs. Noodles? Adobo vs. Kalua Pork? This is a tough one!

Filipino food authenticity is subjective. Let's break the myth that it must be made one way. So many delicious possibilities!

PODCAST

Why Chicago Fell in Love With Kanin | Chef Julius Tacadena I Food Origins Podcast # 79

Chef Julius Tacadena is bringing the flavors and memories of the Philippines and Hawai‘i to Chicago through Kanin.
Born in the Philippines and raised on Kaua‘i, Julius grew up surrounded by the food and culture that would eventually shape his culinary journey. After moving to Chicago and taking a nontraditional path through nursing and recruiting, he found his way back to food and began turning the flavors of home into something uniquely his own.

From Filipino classics and Hawaiian comfort food to musubi, Spam, longanisa and creative bodega-style dishes, Kanin has become a celebration of Julius’s roots and the food memories that shaped him.

In this episode of Food Origins Podcast, we talk about growing up in Hawai‘i, Filipino food culture, the journey from pop-ups to Kanin, the story behind his food, Chicago’s restaurant scene, and what it means to bring a taste of home to a new city.
