The Role Eating With Hands Plays In Filipino Culture

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons

It’s Filipino American History Month, so we’re learning about how kamayan, the communal style of eating with hands, preserves Filipino culture. Plus, we discuss places in Chicago to sit down to a table covered in banana leaves and delicious Filipino dishes like lechon, longganisa and fish. Reset checks in with local restaurateurs Christine Ledesma, owner and co-founder of Kubo Chicago and Billy Dec, the CEO and founder of Sunda New Asian.
