Chrissy Nucum is the chef and owner of KC Pinoy, a Filipino restaurant in the West Bottoms. While Filipinos are the second largest Asian American group in the United States, it's actually a bit of a challenge to find a traditional Filipino restaurant in many cities. So Chrissy has kept her menu true to her family's recipes, educating folks on what Filipino food is all about—and even if you think you know something about Filipino food, you might find a few surprises on the KC Pinoy menu. Dishes featured in this episode:

• Sisig (San Miguel pairing optional)
• Adobong Manuk
• Pork Tocino
• Iskrambol
