Let’s run it back with a look at the dishes from last year’s Isang Kusina. 🇵🇭✊🏽🍽️ The chefs took traditional favorites and were inspired to make them their own: Kinilaw by Chef Cat @istoryalv Adidas by Chef Josh @sampa.la Pulpog by Chef Monique @moniquefeybesse Tiyula Ista by Chef James @jaemsrainier Lamb Satti by Chef Harold @chefharoldvillarosa Almond Jelly by Chef Kimmie @milkfish.bakeshop We’re doing it all over again on May 22nd. Any guesses on what’s hitting the menu this time around? Check back later this week for the big reveal. 🔗 Link in bio for tickets. Sales close May 17th—don’t run on Filipino time for this one!

Looking back at last year’s Isang Kusina, we’re reminded that history isn’t just found in textbooks, it’s found in the kitchen. We had the honor of collaborating with a talented roster of chefs who translated our previous dinner chapters (Origins, Binondo, and Sulu) into every bite. The 2025 Lineup: • @moniquefeybesse | @tartsdefeybesse • @chefharoldvillarosa • @joshm3lo | @sampa.la • @kimmie_laughs | @milkfish.bakeshop • @jaemsrainier • @catcarlucci | @istoryalv (Note: Restaurant associations were current at the time of production.) As we look toward this year’s Isang Kusina, we center our theme on the 400-year Filipino-American story to answer a single question: How did we get here? Our chefs have collaborated with our research team to translate the history of each state into a culinary map. The menu will be told chronologically but backwards in this immersive dinner experience. Hawai’i, Nevada, Louisiana, DC, Washington, California, and Alaska. 📍 Keep Memory Alive Event Center, Las Vegas 🗓️ May 22 at 6pm 🎟️ Tickets: Link in bio. — 📸: @heycinco

From our weekly residency at Durango Social Club to the big stage — this time America’s largest food festival. We are so proud to announce that Istorya is headed to @foodielandvegas at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway from March 27-29. For us, it’s always been about the story behind the plate: the lineage of these flavors and the community we build around them. We’re bringing the staples and some new favorites to the festival grounds. On the Menu: 🥢 OG Pancit 🥥 Chili Coconut Pancit 🍦 Ube Ice Cream Pandesal 🍹 Calamansi Lemonade Grab your tickets, bring your appetite, and come say hi to the team. See you at the booth! ✌🏽

We’re partnering with our friends at Gyu+ for the next chapter of our Galeón series. Tracing 250 years of Filipino–Mexican culinary exchange, this dinner explores the Manila–Acapulco Galleon Trade (1565–1815) — when ingredients, techniques, and people moved across the Pacific and reshaped both kitchens. Through a 6-course tasting menu, we examine what crossed the ocean — and the stories that came with it. This is the Mexican chapter of Filipino cuisine, told with history and creative precision by Gyu+’s Chef Izzy who is of Mexican heritage, and our Istorya Chefs Dio and Justin. Three dinners. Three seatings. Limited capacity. Tickets + details at link in bio! 🍽️🇵🇭🇲🇽

This Tuesday, we close Galeón. Here’s what we served. This series traced how Filipino cooks responded to Spanish colonial rule. The dishes are grounded in documented history and shaped by research, including our Chapter Four storytelling framework. You’ll taste Filipino-Spanish inspired dishes from this chapter in history: • Ensaymada adapted in Philippine convent kitchens • Empanadas filled the Pre-Colonial way • Arroz caldo shaped by trade and technique • Flan De Leche refined by Filipina cooks Every course here carries a Spanish influence. Every course carries a Filipino decision. Chefs Dio, Justin, and Anjelique reinterpret these histories through their own technique and voice. Not to replicate the past, but to show how Filipinos made imposed systems work in their favor. To close the night, the Philippine Heritage dancers will perform La Jota, a dance that traveled across the empire and was localized in the Philippines. We end the chapter by showing movement, not just food. Tuesday at @saffronloungelv One last table. One last telling before we move into Part II.

History is now grounded. 🍽️ Istorya is now a permanent residency at Durango Social Club, serving contemporary Filipino American food inspired by Chef Dio’s childhood memories and lived experiences. From sinigang shrimp dumplings to salmon sisig, every dish feels familiar — yet reimagined. Cooked from memory. Meant to be shared. 📍 Durango Social Club, Las Vegas Tuesdays & Wednesdays 5–9 PM Reservations preferred | Walk-ins welcome This isn’t a pop-up. #Istorya is here — and it’s staying. A special shout-out to Magnolia Ice Cream, for keeping our childhoods close. Without your flavors, moments like these wouldn't taste like home. @magnoliaicecream #lasvegas #filipino
