Just called in my reservation for this event. I find Filippino food fascinating, not the least because there are a fair number of places offering it in Chicago and yet it's below radar for most non-Filippinos...plus, some dishes seem somewhat challenging to Western tastes, and I like a challenge.

Interesting event for sure, if I did not have a previous commitment I'd be there with bells on.
