CHRISPY’S BARRIO FIESTA • 10/25 🎉🇵🇭

In honor of Filipino American History Month, our Chef de Cuisine, Chrispy Santos, is hosting a one-night-only pop-up on 10/25 inspired by his childhood food memories. Expect playful spins on Filipino classics like Kinilaw with hamachi crudo and coconut broth (pictured), Pork Belly Sinigang skewers, short rib Caldereta with white miso sugo, and a Turon Sticky Bun with @626hospitalitygroup Ube ice cream to finish.

Everything’s à la carte and made for sharing, so bring the whole crew. A portion of proceeds benefits @culinarycareersprogram, which helps under-resourced high school students build careers in food and hospitality.

No tickets needed, but reservations are encouraged at the link in bio! taken in YI CHA by @yicha_la
