Where Magna Kusina Chef Carlo Lamagna Dines in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Reservations are now available for a new restaurant in Denver based on an idea Lamagna says he’d been "simmering for a decade." He explains the genesis: "I was approached by a friend of mine that was out there already. For the past 10 years, every year, he’s called me like clockwork, asking if I ever think about coming to Denver. We went to check it out and the stars aligned." He also notes the perception of Filipino food in Denver reminded him of how Portland looked about 10 years ago, informing his decision to bring a project there." - Thom Hilton
