Three nurses who found themselves missing hearty Filipino breakfasts while fighting on the front lines of New York City’s Covid-19 outbreaks have taken matters into their own hands by opening their own restaurant. “When we got off from work, we were so hungry and we were craving Filipino food,” said nurse Jude Canela, who opened Bilao with friends Joan Calanog and Maricris Dinopol close to their hospital in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Working long hours whilst trying to establish your own business too is a lot of work and dedication. Kudos to them. I hope they are successful
Nah they'll go bankrupt in a couple months tops. It's nyc you're talking about.
Filo breakfasts are salt and fat. Of course they'll be successful.
@@stroberingo19 nahhh
@@stroberingo19 too sweet, too salty, and fatty 😂😂😂
This dude has an incredible work ethic...full shift at the hospital and then run a restaurant. Hard enough to do one of those alone
The hustle is real.
We wanna share wit our friendz family blah blah n charge dem… how great dey are wish dey was my ppl lol
@@teamzoey3923 it is a business, of course, it's not a house to give free food.
They aren't cooking in, and managing the restaurant. They are the owners.
How low can the American go ?

Seems like a lot of work for them to be both nurses and running a restaurant! Props to them
i think they only need to support the restaurant through finances and not really manage it. like what other business owners do.
What are "props"? Fake guns and such?
@@mikemondano3624 cheers
@@mikemondano3624 in this sense, ‘props’ = due, respect, credit
It's normal in filipinos
Filipinos are the kind of people who are so full of pride for their culture that they want to share that pride and love with everyone they meet.
Filipino too over proud of themselves
@@skid9985 Over proud? Which part? Is there such a thing? Over proud is a slap to nurses and medical people who risk their lives so others can live.
@@migovasquez0303 that's a natural reaction from a insecured filipino.
PINOY PRIDE
@JoeJoe yeah and the moon the galaxy is part of china since ancent times everything is part of china right😂😂😂
Filipinos are hard working people no doubt. Hope their restaurant is successful. ❤️
It's really a heavy meal, considering that locally, it also includes coffee or hot cocoa and a sour pork soup or herby beef soup. It's meant to power up your body throughout the day as most hardworking Filipinos skip lunchtime.
I didn't know that
This is true but also most filipinos have got to have the 4 meal a day eating hahha
Thank you for sharing this 🤗
The world should know the filipino silog breakfast its soo varied and complete! Plus you can add the free bulalo soup and the hot chocolate too! Congrats to you guys!
Lies again? Polite Home Delivery Excellent Service

Filipinos, like many Asians, LOVE FOOD! You can judge this, when you arrive in a country, by counting how many food stalls or restaurants you pass by before arriving at your house or hotel.
.
Here in Sydney, you can count them with just one hand, some of them CLOSED outside of lunch or dinner hours!
.
MABUHAY po! And may your business prosper! And thank you too, for your service too as a frontline worker in the fight against COVID et al!

Can we just agree that Chinese cuisine is better than any Asian cuisine. Filipinos are just 5 foot 4 inches weakling
China superior
100% I am Chinese-Austrian and my partner sometimes even say that I love food more than him 🤣Food is a big part of Asian culture and that is how we show love, with food!
It's not that western don't love food, it's because of the car centric and suburb nature of most cities which alienates walking and family owned restaurants. France have many bread shop in every corners, Italy have many pasta restaurants and so on since they have better accessible city than USA. That's why this exist in New York which has dense city and relatively better public infrastructure and not on suburban California were many Filipino American resides.
Such a positive energy. Taking care of people is what nurses do. I hope their restaurant becomes more successful. I'm Indonesian, I often eat rice for breakfast 😃
There's not a lot of filipino restaurants in the city??! No way! You guys made the right move!!!
Im pretty sure their business will go boom for months
For some reason very few Filipinos moved to the North the all went to the West and South West. Like there are lots of Filipinos in Houston.
there is def a lot of filipino restaurants in ny.... just a bs story
He’s lying, there’s loads of Philippino restaurants
@@oliverbanes5121 mama finas is one
Here in Hawaii, Filipino restaurants are everywhere. Not just filipino but other asian restaurants too! Proudly the Asian state of US!
Hawaii IS far away from America...in all means, considering USA is Not America...is part of Polinesia
A reason why i visited at least once a year from 10 years ago. Oahu❤️the Asian state of USA lol
Yeah. Lots of Asian immigrants will travel to Hawaii and California. And oddly South East Texas(Houston).
As mentioned in the video there are many Philippine restaurants in Queens. Queens is very asian
@@saltapozo that's why they called it UNITED STATES of america, because it's a bunch of STATES that they unite within America specifically north america.
This is so amazing and wholesome. I’m a night shift nurse too and I’m from Thailand. When I get off work in the morning I’m usually starving and craving Thai breakfast. Love their hard work!
This is so exciting and thank you big time for spreading the original Filipino cuisine to the world. There’s more to follow like foods from difference Filipino provinces, like Bicolano, Kapampangan, etc. 😉❤️🇵🇭🍽
so proud for them.
@JoeJoe ok. . .and???
@JoeJoe ??? who cares, they’re still filipino if they’re mixed
@@flopkito no they are not, being Filipino is an nationality. They are American now
@JoeJoe exactly, they deserve credit
@JoeJoe who told u?
its cool to see filipino entrepreneurs, we aren't very well represented in the US in that department. Still props to hima nd his work ethic is something to look up to.
Wow that's commendable
I work in construction for 10 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week and that is hard. Last year I worked at a covid testing and vaccination center for 5 days a week 12 hour shifts and that was exhausting. If I had to run a restaurant after either of those I would be in the hospital!
My Asian friends’ parents all own restaurants, they worked hard so that their kids can become doctors, attorneys or other professionals, then one day one of them decided to open a restaurant, his parents said “what did we worked so hard for?”
🤣
Actually having a big and successful business is way far better, than working for the government.
Putting up business means they got extra money.
@@dumpacc13 better for the long term
It's the end game. We need to have a 2nd source of income.
I love Filipino ppl. They are so sweet. I’ve never met one who wasn’t friendly and smiley 😊
You havent met me.
🤣🤣🤣
@@sophiacadiz8016 😂😂😂😂
I'm introvert, and I can't smile at the people I'm not closed with but I still greet them, luckily our government is still strict about wearing facemask😅😂😂😂.
The food looks so delicious! It feels like a lunch almost!!
Filipinos love rice... we have it any time of the day.
Definitely power breakfast
But not healthy
@@maxallard2595 That food looks a lot more healthy than the $#!T€ Americans eat at fast food restaurants.
It can serve as both breakfast and lunch. It's heavy because many hardworking Filipinos skip lunch so this helps them get through the day.
a place to heal the soul after a hard days work of healing the body.
Salute all to our healthcare workers!
I am surprised by his strength to open a restaurant despite its busy schedule this man made me more inspired to work harder.
This is very heartwarming 👏
wow, as a filipino myself, this is amazing! thank you for sharing our food with other countries, hope your resuartant is successful!
Get a heart attack from the food and a nurse will always be near by
💀
LOL you get your money's worth 🤣
Mcds is worse, this restaurant is niche
it’s amazing to see Filipinos striving offshore. i admire their courage and perseverance in juggling their hospital shift and running the business. hopefully, it turns out even better than it is now!
So true, when we are in another country, we truly crave for some Filipino food! Congrats guys!
For anyone who hasn’t tried Filipino BBQ pork, it’s highly underrated. I tried it 3 years ago for the first time and I was blown away. I think it’s better than even Korean BBQ.
Nope..im filipino,,, and korean have best BBQ in asia
korean bbq less flavor, filipino bbq full flavor
@@michaeltamares7974 korean bbq is better than bbq from luzon but bbq from Cebu and south are amazing. Although Koreans bbq have more varieties to choose from
Wow, this is awesome! Congratulations! I hope I can visit this restaurant someday!
World most friendliest and easy people are fillipino according to world's data .fillipino and at no.1 in hospitality
I’m so proud of my Pinoy and Pinay brothers and sisters. Salamat for all what you do. And from experience eating there the food is absolutely delicious. Salamat sa Inyo maroon ako pude mga kaan na Pinoy sa uptown!
So inspiring. I miss eating Filipino food 🥘 our food is really underrated and yet some foreigners love it 😍
This is a great idea. I'm a nurse for 27 years and have worked nights for 25 years. I have worked with many fillipino nurses and I love fillipino food. I live in PA but I'm coming to your restaurant on my vacation!!
I hope to be like them someday. My passion for food supercedes reason sometimes.
Kudos to you guys and more power! 👏
Ahh the food seems yummy, I want to go there when I get to visit NYC. As a fellow Filipino, this makes me glad. Also appreciate the nurses & their hard work especially during the pandemic. Wishing their business all the success
All the best to u guys....u all seem to b kind hearted people n definitely ur colleagues n customers looks satisfied.Hope ur restro deserve more than this.Gud luck n best wishes.
Sounds amazing, I wanna go.
Comfort for so many :) food builds bridges and connects everyone!!
Filipinos are some of the kindest people you will ever meet, it’s no surprise many go into the nursing profession. This is impressive for him to take on a restaurant business on top of him being a nurse - major props!
I worked with many Filipinos for years while I was working in healthcare and I love Filipinos they are so nice and friendly and their food is amazing
Could not be more proud! Such an industrious group!
Cheers to more success and progress!!! Hard enough to work long hours at the Hospital and now you’ll have a business to take care of. Congrats my fellow nurses!!!
So proud of you guys! Will try your dishes when I get back to NY.. ;)
Congrats! Proud Filipino. 🇵🇭❤️🙏✌️
Filipino Nurses are the best in the entire World..A Snappy salute to all our Filipino Nurses around the World 🌎🌎🌎🌍🌍🌍

"Basically it's heavy"
As a Filipino and Asian: You don't know my full power!
Here in my country (Belize C.A.), Filipino nurses are the best! They are the most loving people to work in the healthcare system. On my visit to the US (hopefully soon) I will visit this restaurant as support for their work.
Some nurses love eating out together after a rough work shift. I miss that. This is a great idea (started as a passing joke) from them.
Wow ang galing talaga ang maga pilipino at masipag pa para sila proud talaga mag palabasin ang kanilang filipino dish para yun
Ang filipino embasy for filipino
food i wish i can go there and try it out you know sana all i love and respect from 🇵🇭
This us great! Even I had the similar craving after rounds in hospital and I wanted nice Pakistani food but I am so tired
Bless you and your business. Thanks for caring and sharing 🥰
From hospital to hospitality business. :D
🙏🏿Much SUCCESS with your restaurant!🙏🏿
Kudos to you guys! Wish you all the luck❣️😍
Yay to me fellow nurses and healthcare workers!! Congratulations!!
I live in NJ and I’ll make sure to visit one day when I visit NYC again :)
Thank you for covering this. Its wonderful and uplifting news.
mikey chen should do a video of this new filipino restaurant
I totally love this! Great job guys :)
Filipinos love to take care of people, that is so true add to that we are honest & can be trusted. Almost all hardworking Filipino overseas workers
Salute & praise, to ALL Filipino frontliners, the living & the fallen...local & overseas!!!
In my lil town we have two restaurants. So grateful 🙂
Wish I was in NY, I would definitely check this place out. Well done guys 👏🧡
So proud of you, mga kababayan.
Thank you for your service. We need you more than you can imagine
Do they have time to sleep at all? Take care of your health guys.
Its nice to make money on something you love to do and have enough money to retire and still be able to go to work.
I wish them all the success 😍😍
Applaud to you hard work! Bow! Ang galing nyo!
inspirational
I absolutely LOVE Filipino food! I am blessed that I have friends that love to feed me lol. I wish them all the success that they deserve.
This is being proactive.
When I was delivering food for LA Bites (now defunct, sadly) I delivered a large catered lunch to a Philippine - staffed health care facility. They do like their food!
Amazing!💗
I hope I can visit the restaurant soon!!!
I love that. And I love Filipinos. They have the best attitudes!
I’m from Thailand I love Filipino food especially sari sari and pork adobo
im not a filipino but love to support all my filipino friend.they are great and work hard people.surely will visit to the resto when come to nyc again.
Wow nurses work hella long hours already! So proud of these hardworkers.
Love this specially since I work for mount sinai also and a Filipino!
Everything looks delicious and amazing. I would love to try it :)
That's awesome! All the best to you guys!
I'M GLAD FOR YOU GUYS 👦 ❤️
Im so excited to visit!!!!
Taking care of, comes naturally. 👍👍
Jude was my schoolmate from highschool. I'm glad for him!
Love this! ❤️
it is truly impressive to see individuals like this Filipino nurse who can juggle multiple responsibilities with such ease and dedication. Their energy and passion for both their profession as a nurse and their restaurant business is truly inspiring. It takes a lot of hard work, determination , and time management skills to accomplish such feats. Kudos to them for their amazing achievement.
I don’t understand what do they mean by underrepresented. Either people like your cuisine or needs to be localized enough so that it becomes inauthentic! It is easy to blame society for you not creating demand. That being said Pilipino nurses deserve this restaurant for their contribution to the healthcare industry!
It says right there in the video. You can’t just find Filipino restaurants just about anywhere. Most Filipino restaurants are in queens. Filipinos are in the top 4-5 immigrant groups in the US, next to Mexicans, the Chinese and Indians, yet you can hardly find Filipino restaurants in the city. Duh
Love that country. I miss the Philippines and the mangoes!
Wowow and I am so drained after a 8 Hr shift !! I’m so disgusted with myself 😭😭
Being from Seattle and now living in the Bay Area we don't realize how spoiled we are with the diverse food options and restaurants we have from all over the globe. This is beyond admirable and I wish them success. Health-care is hard in itself working graveyard shift and running a business by day..brava!!!!
That looks delishious! When I am in New York I'm sure I will go out of my way to come to your resteaunt to eat
At least there’s something I can eat in case of being in a mood for Filipino food abroad.
lol. But Filipino food is just "their" versions of other people's food. Mostly Chinese and American.
@@HiddenAgendas now, id like to try fil-am food to taste "their" version
@@xXxSkyViperxXx jolliebbees.... Started by a Chinese immigrant who basically opened a bootleg KFC
@@HiddenAgendas it wasn't a bootleg KFC. it was originally an ice cream parlor that turned into a burger resto then shifted to chickenjoy cuz people in ph like fried chicken with rice more. the original jollibee was just by gilmore at aurora blvd before near robinson's magnolia when that mall used to be an ice cream factory. my dad used to work as a utensils supplier for sir tony tan's jollibee around the late 90s or so. his wife susan king is also from the family that runs chowking. the name of chowking is hokkien for "kitchen" but the name is also a combination of two filchi surnames, chow/chiu and king
@@xXxSkyViperxXx right. they failed and decided to copy KFC. Even copied the buckets. Chinese and their copying!
I understand very well. I worked 16 years as a Night RN. After working 3 to 4 nights in a row; I craved Garlic Fried Rice with Fried Dried Fish, Sliced of Fresh Tomatoes with a squeeze of one lemonsito and Filipino Tsocolate But no Filipino Restaurant open that early (0700 Hours End of Shift). I am very happy that you started this business. Sending Blessings to Night Shift Nurses, Day Shift Nurses and in between shifts.
Love to try it when I come to New York. 👍💖😊
Mabuhay to all Filipino nurses in the world!
I am very proud ..
My sister and brother-in-law are both nurses in San Diego, I am so PROUD of both of them, SALUTE to our unsung heroes for their sacrifices, Prince Philip called them our " Guardian Angels ". Kudos to these guys, working full time as a nurse and a business owner, I can't imagine how can I do it, but this guy is AMAZING, I guess it's just how you MANAGE your time.
Definitely checking it out next time I’m in NYC. It’s true, most Filipino restaurants are in Queens and it’s a little bit out of the way when you’re in Manhattan.
Love the Filipinos.
Congrats you really feed a lot of working people with a healthy food🙏 Hope you can find workers so that you have time to rest.🇵🇭
