Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: December 9 | Eater LA

"A Van Nuys ghost-kitchen operation founded by Frances Vergara, a former Etihad flight attendant who learned to cook from her grandmother, this Filipino homestyle venture began selling lechon and other comfort foods during the COVID-19 pandemic and expanded through pop-ups and catering before landing in its current ghost-kitchen about a month ago. Available for pick-up and UberEats delivery, one standout is the sisig: Vergara prepares it with chopped pork belly, pig ears, pig snout, chicken liver, and onion; the whole thing gets a proper fried egg and a side of spicy vinegar to help cut through the rich pig parts. The meats are evenly chopped and blend well with warm, fluffy rice to enhance the porcine flavor. "Sisig remains my all-time favorite Filipino dish, and the version here rivals some of the best ones I’ve had in the Philippines," — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
