She’s lived around the world and even has her degree in international relations, but it took Charlene Lopez Young moving to St. Louis to fully dive in to her love of cooking Filipino food for friends and family. Now, she and her husband Darren are bringing it to the masses with The Fattened Caf. Their pop-up dinners, catering and collaborations aren’t just building a following, they’re building a community. Along with their story, we have some food news and your Halloweekend planner!
