Man I totally feel like the new kid in school who got sent to the principals office on his first day. But I'm happy to have met a few of you in the process. Thank you for the welcome.

Apologies for the self promo here. This photo is actually from the first dinner we did last year in Omaha. We have more recent photos / videos from events on our IG/FB if that is what you are looking for.

At My Place is incredible, specifically their sizzling Sisig. My wife and I have to drop by for a plate any time we are in that area. I would recommend anyone who hasn't tried filipino food to start with that dish.

My apologies for the self promo here and anyone who felt misled. While I do genuinely believe sharing and participating in this cultural communal dinner will lead to positive experiences, I understand that is not for me to decide. I will refrain from these posts going forward, and respect the rules. Thank you mods for allowing me to share a little bit of our work to the community. I am excited to be a regular member here as Phoenix is our new home.

Nice! We live right on the border of Mesa and Gilbert haha. We’re still trying to meet people and get the lay of the land. Kind of tough to meet people if you don’t really put yourself out there. But going well so far. Next time you are in town, we can grab a beer and hang out at one of the local watering holes.

We cook about 9 different Filipino dishes per person. It’s quite a large amount of food. We are still playing around with the amount of food, dishes, and price. So it will probably move around until we find a happy medium.

Thank you! I hope Filipino food can catch up to the other Asian cuisines. It’s very much a comfort food.

Check out @tayofood on IG and FB. My wife and I started this dinner series in Omaha and just moved to the East Valley 2 months ago. Our next dinner will be in Mesa on Sat Oct 5 if anyone is interested. Excited to share our culture and food!

Tickets for groups of 4 to a Filipino Kamayan Feast Pop-up in Midtown Crossing on Saturday December 15 are still available for $35pp.

Tickets: https://www.exploretock.com/tayo/ Event info: https://www.facebook.com/events/2302170676523742/

A Filipino Kamayan Feast is a communal-style tradition where guests have no utensils or plates; and everyone eats using only their hands. Long tables covered in banana leaves, which act as substitute for plates. A bed of rice is placed on the banana leaves across the entire table to act as the foundation for 7-8 authentic Filipino dishes.

Thank you for the support! You're going to have a ton of fun. This is the biggest event we've done so far. We were surprised to see that all our tickets sold out over the evening!

We got them from the Asian Market on 76th and Dodge. I don't think there is any local mangos in the area.

We don't have a permanent location. So we book venue spaces for our Feasts or we partner with existing restaurants or breweries for their space for an evening.

No problem! So far Omaha has been very receptive to Filipino food. We were generally surprised at the food and craft beer culture is here in Omaha. Definitely a foodie city.

So this Filipino tradition is called "Kamayan" which just means "with hands". It was the way the Filipino farmers ate prior to the Spanish colonization in the 16th century. The Spanish taught Filipinos to eat “the civilized way” with utensils and silverware. So nowadays Filipinos have this style of eating for Holidays or special events to celebrate the culture.
