Bold bites, warm hearts, full plates. For one night only, three of the nation’s most celebrated Filipino chefs reunite in San Diego for a dinner grounded in kapwa – the Filipino concept of shared identity and connection – where culture, community, and cuisine converge. Hosted at Animae, where two-time James Beard Finalist Tara Monsod leads as Executive Chef and Culinary Director, this four-course, family-style dinner experience invites you to taste the soul of Filipino cuisine – elevated, intentional, and full of heart.

Come ready to feel the kapwa in every dish, every story, and every moment shared. San Diego Food + Wine Festival on Facebook / Instagram
