Special Features
Yana Gilbuena
Chef Yana Gilbuena has been on a mission to “spread the Gospel of Filipino food. Through her SALO Project, she has traveled across America and done a Filipino popup dinner in each state. Salo, explains Yana, means to gather, but it may also mean to catch when the accent is placed on the second syllable. Her dining series is a meaningful recognition of the finer points of Filipino food and culture, but deeper than this, it highlights the best thing about Philippine dining, which is bringing people together at the table for a hearty good time. She chats with Heritage Radio Network Executive Director Erin Fairbanks in this special recording.
