Individual
Hello! I’m an experienced and innovative chef in NYC, specializing in urban cross-cultural comfort food with a modern twist.
With a deep passion for culinary exploration and an eye on the latest food trends, I create dishes that are both exciting and approachable. Inspired by the vibrant and ever-evolving food scene of New York City, my cooking blends diverse flavors in fresh, unexpected ways—always with a focus on comfort and connection.
While my style is broad, I have a special knack for incorporating Filipino elements into my creations, adding a unique and exciting layer to traditional comfort food. From fusion tacos with bold Filipino-inspired fillings to vibrant Asian-influenced bowls, I’m always looking for new ways to push flavor boundaries while keeping things familiar and satisfying.
I also understand the importance of catering to different dietary needs, ensuring that gluten-free, vegan, and other special requests don’t just meet expectations—they exceed them with bold, well-balanced flavors.
Whether you’re planning a dinner party, an intimate gathering, or just want to elevate your next meal, I focus on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients to create an experience that’s both stylish and memorable.
Let’s celebrate the rich tapestry of urban cross-cultural cuisine—where comfort food gets a fresh, creative spin. If you’re interested in working together, feel free to reach out. I’d love to bring something special to your table!
