About this Event
Join Chefs Rich and Eric as they host their 2nd outdoor Kamayan-style dinner at the Birdhaus Beer Garden in Union City!
Kamayan is a traditional Filipino family style meal where you only eat with your natural utensils - YOUR HANDS! No plates, no utensils. Our dishes will be served family-style on top of banana leaves. “Kamayan” roughly translates to “by hand” and is the traditional way of eating for Filipinos. Our menu will have more traditional fare as well as courses that share the unique perspective of growing up Filipino in the US.
Beer and Wine will be available for purchase on site from the Birdhaus Beer Garden.
