pop-up restaurant where you can find her delicious Kainbigan Filipino fusion cuisine every week.  Eileen Florendo is starting grad school (we are all so proud of her!).  Shay Franco-Clausen is currently recovering from hand surgery so make sure you send her some love!  And what am I doing???  Well I am just enjoying the company of friends and loved ones, creatively concocting new ideas for future events, planning our season for next year and generally causing a ruckus.  So in other words I am having the time of my life!

The entire team will be seeing you out and about this fall with lots of fun stuph planned for the Bay!
