'Bizarre Foods' host sees Pinoy food fad in US | ABS-CBN News

Balaw Balaw Folk Food Restaurant of the family of Perdigon Vocalan is really popular with all this international exposure by Mr. Andrew Zimmern of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods.


 "MANILA, Philippines -- "Bizarre Foods" host Andrew Zimmern is predicting Filipino cuisine to be the next big thing among American diners.

Zimmern made the prediction an interview with the website of the US morning show "Today," which was published on Tuesday.

“I predict, two years from now, Filipino food will be what we will have been talking about for six months … I think that’s going to be the next big thing,” he told Today.com.

“I want to go on record — this is not something that’s hot now somewhere and will get hot everywhere else,” he said. “It’s just starting. I think it’s going to take another year and a half to get up to critical mass, but everybody loves Chinese food, Thai food, Japanese food, and it’s all been exploited."

"The Filipinos combined the best of all of that with Spanish technique. The Spanish were a colonial power there for 500 years, and they left behind adobo and cooking in vinegar — techniques that, applied to those tropical Asian ingredients, are miraculous,” he told the website."
