Taste of FPAC: 09/09/2010

Ladies and Gentlemen,

In conjunction with FilAm ARTS and the Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture, The Manila Machine is proud to announce a celebration of Filipino cuisine. On September 9, 2010, The Manila Machine will be teaming up with one of Los Angeles’ best chefs for a Filipino food extravaganza!

Needless to say… we’re freaking excited! Many many thanks to our hosts at FilAm ARTS.

Who’s the guest chef you’re asking? Where will this Pinoy smorgasbord take place? All in good time people. All in good time.

An announcement will be made soon in which we’ll reveal the super secret guest chef and the super secret location. But perhaps you can guess the chef and the location from the official FilAm ARTS Save the Date below:

Local top chefs grew up eating it, national TV shows such as Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” have featured it – and this summer, it started hitting the streets of Los Angeles for the first time ever…

It is Filipino food, and the San Francisco Chronicle thinks it “might just be the next Asian cuisine to hit prime time.”

Join us in celebrating the renaissance of Filipino cuisine. SAVE THE DATE for FilAm ARTS’ premiere “Taste of FPAC,” a Filipino foodie event and kickoff reception for the 19th annual Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture. The event will feature contemporary traditional Filipino American cuisine made in Los Angeles from The Manila Machine, Southern California’s first Filipino food truck, and a very special guest chef to be announced soon (hint: oink oink)!

Thursday, September 9, 2010

6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Location (which is related to the special guest chef) also to be announced soon!
