Prior to the “Fun Food Talks” event in Bacolod City this weekend at the Negros Residences, chefs Tom Cunanan, Lanai Tabura, and Charles Olalia did a food tour through Iloilo City.
Guided by chef Rafael ‘Tibong’ Jardeleza Jr., the chefs visited local specialty shops, restaurants, and public markets.
During this weekend’s upcoming event in Bacolod City, the group will serve as panelists, moderated by Margarita Forés, founder of the Cibo chain of restaurants.
Cunanan won the James Beard award this year for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic; Tabura is a television personality, comedian, and actor; and Olalia is the chef and co-owner of Ma’am Sir, a Filipino restaurant and bar in Los Angeles.
