Alvin Cailan has risen to become arguably the most high-profile chef in Americas Filipino food movement. He took the food scene by storm when he opened the now-legendary Eggslut in Los Angeles, a foodie cult favorite specializing in affordable but sophisticated egg sandwiches. Alvin is now based in New York City, where his latest critically acclaimed restaurant is The Usual. Alvin also hosts the popular The Burger Show on First We Feasts YouTube channel, with many episodes exceeding 1 million views and guests such as Seth Rogen and Padma Lakshmi.

He had to first overcome cultural traditions and family expectations to find his own path to success, and this unique cookbook tells that story through his recipes.About the AuthorALVIN CAILAN, chef at The Usual in NYC, first grabbed nationwide attention with the wildly popular Eggslut in LA.
