Man, the two recent episodes bout Filipino food are tear-jerkers. Lovin the host, nailin it.
0:27 WTF is that purple thing in the middle????
@@oopopp radish
I had to stop to take a break to read the comments because it was getting emotional. Such a good episode and series!
Papa JuPri love the host. But I’m really over “Filipino food is the next big thing” being pushed down our throats.
@@mysisterisafoodie welps, to each his own. 😊
He won the James Beard Award last year & now takes reservations on Wednesday at 11:00 am exactly. It usually fills up in 10 minutes. I've been there 3 times in two months last year & will be going next month. Absolutely love the food. The 1st time there he was gracious enough to take pictures with us.
Love this chef. "I want Filipino food to always be the best version of itself". Beautiful.
What a beautiful sentence
Kudos to the chef for promoting Maranao and Tausug cuisine in America! Whilst here in the Philippines, it is not yet widely available. 👏👏👏
No wonder .the resto name Bad Saint..since it is a non catholic menu origin?
@@samuelromero3633 no, the video definitely told the reason why it's called bad saint. watch it again
You can get Mindanao dishes in some parts of Manila too! Muslim Heritage Tour in Quiapo includes carinderias or eateries that serve Maranao or other cuisine that are typical from Mindanao.
I find it pretty damn cool that they took the effort to use the Tagalog names for the dishes -- it's not exactly an easy language to learn or pronounce so the fact that they took that extra step is kinda heartwarming in a way.
Hell yeah. I imagine it's similar to me when ordering food at a Korean restaurant.
Me: yeah, uhm I'll have number 14 please and thank you.
"My mom was my chef". Eff, those are beautiful words.
Angie Natoyn amen
basically every Filipino kid
@@dollisonshen Yeah and aside from mom, your grandma as well.
Most Filipinos do not even know Maranao food and Piyaparan was only recently featured by a Filipino TH-cam chef. This is his twist but it is as close as you can probably get in US. Filipino food is not only Kapangan or Batangeneo food. There are so many recipes in the Philippines that are unique. Good job to him!
who is this filipino youtube chef? thanks
it is because maranao culture is not as open as other culture...
isshinish Palapa of Iligan City in Mindanao is one of the best food condiments i ever tasted!
erwan heussaff. search piaparan na manok.
Cebu lechon. And bicol express are known through out. Its because muslims dont showcase their food too much. You dont really see muslim restaurants spread out north to south.
THIS is Filipino food. Not just adobo adobo adobo
Marki Mahalimuyak my adobo has coconut milk , chilis, hard boiled eggs, and star anise on top of the usual ingreds.
calibomber209 sounds yuuuum. My adobo is the Cebuano pre-Chinese type, puna-uga (dry type). Vinegar, peppercorn, tanglad, sili espada and mashed liver. We used to call the more known saucy type, adobao.
Living in California, I'm disappointed that the only foods that other people know of Filipino cuisine are adobo, lumpia and pancit canton. I was disappointed that no one showed them other cuisine we have
Marki Mahalimuyak yes I love dry adobo w pork belly slightly crispy fried in it’s rendered fat. It would b nice to have more pinoy dish popularized but for sure it’s growing. Ppl love sisig and topsilog . It seems as if most of our restaurants only cater to Filipinos and the popularity remains within the pinoy community.
Marki mukhang masarap yung version mo ng adobo. ❤️
this is not filipino food. this is ASEAN fusion
I love the way that he is serving a marinao indigenous dish which is uncommon, i hope all filipinos would empower our indigenous community in our country and share it abroad as well. Thanks Eater and to chef tom , you made your mama proud!
The chef really did his research and rediscovered even the cuisine of the deep south regions of the Philippines not just the typical Kapampangan and Ilongo or Old Tagalog. He had the Tausug and other native Mindanao. Well done! This is really passion!! Your mom and Doreen Fernandez must be very proud of you.
I saw the burnt coconut which is the main ingredient for the black soup a Tausug beef soup and Chicken pianggang.
Much respect to the chef for also serving dishes from Mindanao.
10:31 he paused, but you can feel the bottled up emotions. 😭
Man this Halo-halo Series is hitting me with the feels. (Also shoutout to that cool transition from ‘Authentic Adobo’ episode and opening this episode of adobo being served at the table)
I knew this series would be a hit. Francesca is an *_excellent_* interviewer. It's not by accident that her guests come across knowledgable and sincere. Oh and beautiful dishes and very cool looking resto. 👍
I love that Mindanao is being represented here.
Ginalit mo na ang isa oh
genie red...., that's the Chef version of your food ...lol
WTF McDreamyMD is that you? It's me Selurong from Eastbound88! IronMan is the new admin of the forum now. Filipinos on EB.
genie red its fusion food slightly adjusted to slightly suite the American palate. But the basis is of course Filipino food.
As a Filipina American, I really appreciate this new series as I am learning more about my culture. The host is amazing. Her line of questioning is thoughtful. She's not too over the top like other food hosts and she respects her crew (I'm always wondering if they get to eat and what their thoughts are).
We are on a huge Filipino food episode kick!!!! Love making it and it’s so underrated!!
Wow, appreciate that Eater!!
Francesca must have visited right around the time that I went this summer, because I had the radish and the chicken dishes, and they were both incredible. It's so cool to see the love, tradition, and technique that went into making them, and I can't wait to go back to try even more of the Bad Saint team's amazing creations!
Interesting that they featured crab fat (aligue).
It's a "secret" pinoy recipe used in making high-end tasting pinoy fried rice. I've only tasted it in a few Filipino restaurants in the Philippines. The taste beats a lot of Chinese fried rice I've tasted. Just with that ingredient alone makes a lot of difference.
The crab fat comes in a somewhat regular sized container (less than 15 ounce, I think), and it's not that overpriced in the Philippines. Probably just about 200 pesos ($4). I've always wondered if it's actually pure crab fat that's in there. 200 pesos seems cheap.
200 is cheap for crab fat. Usually, crab meat is added to increase the amount of product and lessen the price but at the expense of its quality. Still tastes good though!
Bobby Alexander Datingaling if iy will be a secret on what I'm eating I'll die. good thing I'm poor and can't afford expensive resto
Yeah its pure crab fat, you can see people sellin it along the roads in San Fernando Pampanga.
The cheap crab fat in jars has breadcrumbs as extenders. The premium ones are pure crab fat
Be wary of the cholesterol in the crab fat though! Eat with caution
"I'm sure my mom would be proud of me" .. I'm done.. Well done Eater.. All the love - Filipino Guy ;)
I want to hug him. He loves his mom ❤️
I've heard many times from my parents that pampanga is the culinary capital of the Philippines but I'm honestly so happy that there's more food out there.
The Philippines is linguistically and culinary diverse. Thousands of islands will do that.
Each has its own little thing to contribute to the whole of the nation.
Pampanga is the most popular but not my fave. Too many regions with completely different styles. Best thing to do is go island hoping and eat everywhere.
The reason why Pampanga is known for being the culinary capital is because a lot of the well known popular dishes in the Philippines originated from Pampanga. They put a lot of stuff on the map making it popular all over the country. Now globally.
Personally i dont like pampanga's style. Its overrated. For me the best food comes from ilocos region.
Sure Bol same here. That’s the most authentic Filipino food. Sagada rice and vigan style longaniza w gambing papaitan! Aye sus!
That is how you elevate filipino food my friend.
Thank you for sticking with the basics and elavating it into international recognition
Crab isn't really the basics of Filipino food...
MaharlikaAWA crab is a seafood and The Philippine archipelago is the center of the center of the world’s maritime biodiversity. and that speaks a lot
@@MaharlikaAWA if you are from manila,mountainous province crab isnt a staple, it doesnt take a genius to understand why
dont be manila centric, philippines is an archipelago and the sea is easily accesible.
@@maccon3977 Maybe crab is a staple food for you rich maarte types but not the common folk unless they live by the sea. It's not a staple or common food.
@@MaharlikaAWA its a common food, not for the urban poor though.
Rich maarte eh hndi nmn ako tga manila lol
Kayo lng nmn hnd nkkaford nyan bcoz of price difference, we even eat talangka which is a crablet (little crab)
Poor families near seas dont eat it because they prefer to sell it.
Thats tantamount to being a staple, fish and crabs are just normal its a leisure for highlanders and manilancentric dimwits though
Love the Spanish-Chinese-Malay history & evolving of Filipino Dishes in America. NOLA-Filipino fusion makes me salivate lol. Plus ADOBO is a wonderful comfort food. 🇵🇭🇺🇸
These are not fusion though
Illocano is the only Og pinoy foods. Pinapaitan , sagada rice . Dishes of the natives with native ingreds. Not popular but to pinoys it’s the best. My fave Spanish pinoy dish is callos a tripe n tendon stew braised w tomato sauce and chorizo de belbao. I can taste the deliciousness that colonization brought yum!
love that filipino food is getting so much more attention these days!! still want more relaxed mom and pop places with reasonable pricing popping up in nyc
thats not even Filipino food. that is ASEAN fusion.
@@straubreypussey6565 Those are Filipino food.
At 2:41 you see a framed photo of Chef Anthony Bourdain. I'M SHATTERED 😭
Well thanks a lot Eater! Now we'll have to line up for 24 hours instead to get a table at this place... jeeez... :P
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! This touches my heart!!!
3:03 St. Anthony Bourdain.
RIP
Rest easy, chef.
-------
And your mom would definitely be proud, Chef Tom. Thank you for representing regional Filipino cuisine and sharing it with everybody.
This is so beautiful. I'm in love with this series ❤
I didn't notice the Adobong Sugpo until now. I never had one in the Philippines. I'm not really a big fan of adobo until Gerry's Grill decided to make Adobo Flakes.
Though I have to say, Adobong Sugpo seems very appetizing. Shrimp isn't particularly that expensive in America. Imagine the pancit and sinigang that you can make with them.
AMEN for your last words! LETS THINK ABOUT IT! NAKAKAGUTOM SHRTEJSO!
imma try that adowbowng sugpow soon. by the way, is that steph? your picture? lol
@@0c0y0p , yes. I was able to photo shoot her once.
Lucky you ^_^
Pancit with shrimp is always 😋.
I’m proud to be a Filipino! 🇵🇭❤️ I’m thankful ‘cause my co- Filipinos are introducing our traditional food with a little twist internationally. And thank you for loving it! My heart is so full when the Filipino guy never forget his roots and continuously making filipino foods, which in return, we here in the Philippines are very proud of him. Godbless him and this show. 🙌 you’ve gain a subscriber!
Great job capturing this restaurant's story! And gosh, that last part made me tear up. Proud Filipina here.
This is great work! Brave endeavors like this is what would definitely push Filipino food popularity in the States, and push Fil food to start to shape it's own here in the States and gain it's own distinction from the Philippines
you guys are killing it with these eps!!! Keep it up!
Nailed it right from the start. Allready knew this will be an amazing video.
So happy to see Maranao dishes 😍 Piaparan a Manok! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Please post more Filipino restaurants and Filipino dishes! I love it!!! 💙💙💙
Really enjoyed this video! So proud of "Bad Saint!" Congratulations! 💖💖💖
Love this, his elevated people’s perception of Filipino cuisine while maintaining that family wholesomeness.... it’s often seen as just a confused mishmash of other cultural influences and canteen style without its own identity but when you delve deeper and experienced as he has with authenticity, a little familiar but also new to many of the traditional regional preparations and ingredients it’s enabled him to envision its creation in another style... still no mistaking it’s Filipino food. Praise and RIP to his mum for lighting that fire in him and maintaining his cultural connection through food.
"ADOWBOWNG SEGPOW" LOVE IT. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. as an aspiring filipino chef, I just love it.
knew someone was gonna comment about that, such a Filipino thing to do haha
Nico Conejero hahah ikr 😂
If you don't do that. Its kinda you saw a shootings star then dont make a wish.
Excellent show! Thank you!
This series is giving me all the feels.
**sniff** I feel the love from this chef. His mom is his inspiration. Respect forever.
Subscribed. Will wait for that Halo-halo episode
The food looks so delicious and the behind stories just makes it more special.👍👍👍
I am definitely impressed with what you are doing back there! We Filipinos are awesome! Keep it up!
I have a Filipino restaurant across the street from where I live. It’s nothing fancy but the reviews are raving. I’m going over today and I’m so excited
Yey another episode. 🤗
I just finished watching 👍 I love the story and the people and also the host and the crew. ❤️
I have never tried eating alige before. After watching this and reading the comments below, i can't stop thinking about it and what i'm missing out on. 😂
I love the exposure, respect, and artistry Chef Cunanan gives to the cuisines of different regions of the Philippines.
I think most Americans who’ve had some exposure to Filipino food don’t realize how varied the food, techniques and even some ingredients can be. It seems the majority of the Filipino restaurants out here in the San Francisco Bay Area serve the same, typical dishes. It’s sad that the more indigenous dishes don’t get a lot of exposure.
I love that their featuring not just the popular Filipino dishes but also the regional ones. Good job Bad Saint!
awesome episode, thank you
Wow! Love how he innovates and turns Filipino dish into an art yet tastes delicious 😋
I live in Alexandria, and I keep reading about this restaurant. After watching this video, I’m going!
Love this y'all! Wish Manila would serve more food like from mindanao, maguindanao and tawi2.
The food looks really good and the chef seems very genuine and down to earth.
I'm from Mindanao and i was to surprise that he applied palapa in his recipe which is really good. He does not focus on Adobo but featuring different foods in every region of the Philippines. Thumbs up for you!
Wow!This one is a tear jerker success story. Food seems absolutely delicious!
Brilliant ! Keep on creating!
Cool! Keep up the good work man!
Wow i'm a maranao and im soo proud watching this.. I feel like i want to give him my mom's recipe of her different maranao dish.
pinoys normally trim the nails of the chicken feet. we chop them off at the knuckle.
I love that they are serving those beautiful chicken feet in that manok.
With kuku
Yes with nails😀
Yep. . Should've cleaned it properly.
That’s why this restaurant called bad saint’s :)
thank you Eater for featuring our food culture. Hats off to the Chef owner
Self taught. That’s good. Culinary school does teach you techniques and how to use all types of ingredients and hone your creativity.
wahhh seeing filipino food prepared with this much love and care makes my heart feel so full T__T
wow, it is also my first time really hearing people waiting in line for filipino food. Most filipino restaurants are turo turo style and its more tailored to filipino patrons. I see some Filipino restaurants like this opening up recently. Definitely a positive trend. I hope I could eat there, definitely will check it out if I ever go to DC
Can we just admire the gorgeous plating of the taro and burnt coconut dish? Like nothing I've ever seen.
I love the quick shot of Anthony Bordains picture on the shelf lol
Awesome food.... will try it on my next trip to DC
More halo halo? Yes please!
Almost midnight and youtube made me hungry recommending this video 😂😂😂
It made me so hungry even though it's 4:30am here in New Zealand. I am going to the Philippines in May. I go to America every year for work, but when I go to Washington, DC Bad Saint is a must. Also PARK'S Finest Filipino Barbeque in Los Angeles.Cheers for the Video.
everything looks delicious!
It's great that he is introducing food from Mindanao even if he is not Maranao or not from Mindanao. Keep up the good work.
Inspiring!
Im a Maranao from Mindanao and im proud of Palapa. And i never thought "Pyaparan a Manok" would actually make it in US and in a restaurant. Kudos to @tom cunanan
Thank you for making magical Filipino food over there in DC
This is so special. 💛
Glad to know someone is making other dishes in the Philippines known.
That labanos dish just looks so beautiful! I bet it tastes even better.
Name of the track from 9 min mark to finish? Great build-up. Keep up the good work.
Well you ended up making one of the top restaurants in dc , definitely something to be proud of.
OH-MY-GOD they all look so good...
Yummy... it looks good & tasty....., I'm hungry now.
Wow I can’t wait to try this place out
Good. More people like this please. The world needs more pinoys like this
Next to my Grandma’s Filipino cooking, this episode is making my mouth salivate
Wow this is one of the most down to earth hosts you have. Reminds me a lot of Jessica Sanchez from that Zagat food show
The host is really good.... and its great seeing filipino food evolve
Aww... This food vlog fills not just the stomach but the heart. She captured it and served it in our plate 😉😍 kudos to your team 👍🏼
Cool we were there few months ago ! That was awesome!
That shredded coconut sauteed with some chillies and garlic is a Maranao dish from Mindanao. I tried it and tastes so good. It is like a condiment. if you add it to any type of dish, you will be blown away.
Is it normal that I’m salivating? 😅🤤 I WANT ALL OF THAT ❤️
I am happy the Chef visited Bacolod, it’s totally a different take on Filipino Cuisine. Often unheard of but definitely a must try.
I love palapa and Meranao food! Filipino food is not just adobo, lumpia, kare-kare, sinigang or pansit - thanks for featuring regional dishes!
Easter's pick of host for new series can be a hit or miss. This one is a hit tho
beautiful presentation!
The Chef is a really good dude. Reminds me I need to treasure my mom more.
People here in manila dont even know palapa
Im glad youre cooking with it!!! Its super yum with grilled food
Amazing video. Such unique foods. MabuhayFilipinas 👊👊👊🇵🇭
I wish all the best for this restaurant! May the chef discover more Filipino dishes that he can serve to the American public :-)
