>Lilibeth, did you know the proprietor of the Kogi Trucks is a
Filipino? Have yet to try Kogi’s; I’ve
read nothing but fave reviews.

Lilibeth: Go ask SILLY LOLO to be your INDUSTRIAL PARTNER…Pipilahan din kayo with Silly Lolo at the front counter and I bet he will have a ball pero baka kayo malugi lalo na if a gorgeous customer bats her eyelash at Silly Lolo!….I am just kidding, Silly Lolo!

Marketman: Good suggestion there by BettyQ. If I only had the resources, I would do that here in LA and have a Filipino version of the Kogi truck. Who knows, a Filipino taco truck might just be as successful as the Kogi truck. It’s a big hit here and I still can’t believe I lined up for 2 hours to have my fill of the famous Korean BBQ taco and it was soooo delish!

quite right, Dave. porchetta doesn’t compare with the original street delicacy in florence. much less when compared to pinoy or chinese lechon. i found this dry and flavorless. but gotta say, the display certainly looked delectable. ok for photo-op.

Ate there last year when they were rated by Time Out NY. It’s a forgettable meal; we were puzzled why the magazine raved about it. There are other pork dishes out there, and this one’s just doesn’t cut it for a Filipino. In fact the next day, we bought some pork belly from Chinatown, baked it in the oven and broiled it to get that crunchy skin and had a great meal!
