Two coasts. One shared story. Step into our fifth culinary chapter as Mexican Chef Mariana Alvarado Garcia and Filipino Chef Justin Barnes trace the centuries-old exchange between the Philippines and Mexico, a connection so deep it shaped our shared flavors, traditions, and spoken words.
Grounded in research by the Istorya team, this three-month culinary journey features a rotating four-course menu with signature cocktail pairings by Aria Mathar.
September: Across the Pacific
The Spark of Connection
We begin at the ocean’s edge, exploring acid as a shared culinary language and celebrating tuba, the ancient coconut-palm spirit brought to Mexico’s coast by Filipino sailors.
October: Wrapped & Translated
The Art of Adaptation
Discover how iconic dishes evolved across the sea. We pair Mexican masa tamales alongside Philippine rice-and-coconut tamales, comparing nixtamalization with lye-water traditions.
November: What Took Root
Harvest, Fire & Heritage
Our finale celebrates ingredients that crossed the ocean to become everyday staples: cacao, camote, achiote, sugarcane, corn, and native banana for a fire-kissed harvest feast.
