Para kay Adi Davo, ang pagkain niya ay tungkol sa "decolonising [the] palate", at pagbibigay respeto sa pagkaing Pinoy gaya ng anumang cuisine.


Key Points
  • Lumaki si Adi Davo sa Iloilo at ayon sa kanya, siya ay "classically trained by [her] grandmother" na si Gloria de Jesus, na may-ari noon ng isang eatery sa Jaro.
  • Noong naging head chef siya ng Luna at nanalo siya ng Chef of the Year sa Australian Hotel Association (AHA) ACT hospitality and accommodation awards in 2023, pumanaw ang kanyang lola.
  • Aminado si Davo na mukhang dinadala siya ng tadhana sa kung saan siya nagsimula - sa pagkaing Pinoy.
You cannot cheapen the branding of Filipino food just because of its location in the world and just because of the colour of our skin.
Adi Davo, Award-winning ACT chef
