    this has been my fav. episode so far. Now im not Filipino, but i have been around the food and culture my whole adult life since i left home at age 18 for the Navy. being stationed in SoCal, my first experience with filipino food was my very first day. All of the housekeepers at the Temp barricks was this big group of titas that I grew to adore. i got to the base after lunch was done at the galley and they were all eating in the break area, saw me coming in tired and confused from culture shock. they welcomed me, fixed me a plate from all the foods they brought(and they had allot), I fell in love with it and have been in love with the food and the people ever since. I love those titas, miss them too.

    My first time having Kare Kare, it struck me how much it reminded me of Maafe. Filipinos have a beautiful culture with delicious food. One of my favorite cuisines, hands down. I love how Marcus interweaves history and food. It's an obvious connection, but one we don't explore in the US often enough. To that end, I'd love for our children to learn more about all the cultures that encompass this country. We haven't even scratched the surface of our cultural richness. Thank you PBS and thank you Marcus for showing the varied experiences of America's immigrant communities. ❤

    I grew up in the early 90's in Los Angeles, right at the time when a huge influx of migrants from Vietnam and Filipinos began to arrive in our area. Vietnamese are great people but somehow Filipinos adapted better given that our area was predominately Latin American. I became good friends with some neighbours, I tried Adobo for the first time, they always invited us to hang out, really cool people. Years later I visited the country and as the video detailed, it had a very familiar yet unique feel to it, at times you feel in a Latin American country, with Pacific islander, European and Chinese all blended together which at the end it is plain and simple Filipino.
  • I'm from SE Alaska and grew up with filipino food. So glad it's having its moment because it's the best!

    WOW! This literally brought me to tears. The hospitality, the bonding, the love of the Filipino culture is what I miss most. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, but now retired and living in East Tennessee. I soo miss the Filipino community and of course, Filipino food. Thank you, Marcus, for showcasing our food and culture...

    Huge lover of Filipino food, love some of the Spanish influence and contributions, but also love the differences in the regions of 🇵🇭 Philippines, Mindenao, Cebu. So much interesting meld and infusions of entrees, kilawin, pinakbet, etc. I’m always gonna rep for my Pares 🇵🇭 love from 🇰🇭

    Marcus, you did a wonderful job with this. I see so many similarities in the Filipino experience and African-Americans. Great job the people are so nice.

    This might be the best food show, and host thus far. His people skills are amazing and his personality shines through during the dull moments. Every episode has kept my attention without wavering. No Reservations better lookout because Samuel is coming for throne.

    Almost all of them are born and raised in US but they never forgotten their roots, GALING! Mabuhay po kayo mga Manong and Manang! Subscribed :)

    I think Marcus has given us unique insight into what “American” food is. We are a land of immigrants, and so is our food. Our food is what immigrants brought to this land, and shared and blended with others, along with our very American characteristic of being innovative, creative and independent. Thank you, Marcus, for this special treat!

    I’m not a Seattle local but I fell into a deep dive on Tito Greg, the owner of Ludi’s. He has a great story— he spent $10k of his own money to reunite an orphan with his father, though they were complete strangers to him.

    Great timing posting this during Filipino-American Heritage Month!

    The sarsiado is our favorite dish when i was growing up in Philippines, that part that the family are cooking together brought up all the memories. This show really showed culture. Love this episode! 🩷🩷💖

    As a Filipino living in the PNW, this video made my day. Thank You @PBS and @MarcusSamuelson
  • @mikeeguti2165
    Filipino foods are really underrated. I wish I’m in that potluck. All the goodness of Filipino cuisines are right there.

    To the Hood Famous couple: what you are calling "ube" is NOT ube -- that is just purple sweet potato, which is a completely different species from true ube.
  • @luvthetrinity
    Great show and great host! Always been a fan of Marcus.
  • Great show! The best Filipino potluck I've ever seen! Thank you for showcasing our Filipino brothers in Seattle who have not forgotten their roots.😊 Mabuhay!
