Food by Kuya Lord
In the spirit of Undas, the Philippines’ version of Dia de Los Muertos, the Filipino American community in LA came together and celebrated life and death through a regenerative kamayan feast by Kuya Lord, who won the James Beard 2024 award for Best Chef in California.
Kamayan is a traditional Filipino way of eating where food is eaten by hands with no plates and utensils–creating a more playful and intimate connection with our food.
The kamayan’s ingredients, from the rare asian vegetables to the lucenachon, was sourced by Farmfluence with the highest intentionality with local regenerative farms like Sow A Heart.
Our special guest, Farmer Osmar of Sow A Heart Farm, dined in kamayan with guests and shared a wealth of wisdom about the felt difference of regenerative farmed-foods.
