Who is paoix? And why is he doing this?
I am a 20-something Filipino living in the NYC area. I’ve really just come across my passion for learning about food and in particular Filipino food in the last few of years. In 2005, I moved in the NYC area to start my professional career and have been enjoying the New York lifestyle ever since. One thing that got me really thinking is that in the greatest restaurant city in the US if not the world Filipino food is nowhere on the map. The population of Filipinos compared to Thai people in the US is so much more yet there’s a Thai place every two blocks and I can count on one hand the number of Filipino restaurants. Why doesn’t anyone know about Filipino food? So as part of my conquest to educate everyone I know about Filipino food, I have to educate myself. For 2008, I’m going to learn about 1 Filipino dish per week. Research it. Try to know as much about it as I can. And of course cook it and eat it! I would love for you to come join me in my quest to learn as much as I can about Filipino food and in the hopes that one day I may be able to teach other people about it.
Eat Filipino Food!
