The first Michelin star Filipino restaurant in the world | Kasama in Chicago

**6/6/23 update: Congrats to the Kasama team for taking home the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes !!! **

Chefs Timothy Flores and Genie Kwon opened this Filipino restaurant/bakery in 2020 hoping to make Filipino food more accessible for everyone.

Kasama, which in Tagalog translates to "together" or "partner", launched their 13-course tasting menu offering in late 2021. In April 2022, it was the first Filipino restaurant in the world to receive a Michelin star.

Their tasting menu has been described as "traditional Filipino cooking with a creative, contemporary spin", and I was so excited to finally try it. Thanks for watching!
