EATS LA: Ep 2 – Kamayan Memory
Theme: Home is where you eat with your hands.

In a quiet San Fernando Valley garage, a sacred ritual unfolds—banana leaves replace plates, silverware is banished, and strangers become family through food. In this intimate episode, hosts Chef Reese and Antoni pull up a chair at Lola Bel’s underground kamayan supper club—a place where hands remember what mouths cannot say.

From the sizzling adobo to the soulful stories of guests rediscovering their roots, Kamayan Memory explores how food becomes language, history, and healing. With Lola Bel as both chef and spiritual guide, we journey through the power of ancestral flavors, immigrant resilience, and the radical act of eating with your hands.

Featuring:

• The untold story behind LA’s most intimate Filipino supper club
• Raw, emotional guest confessions of loss, identity, and rediscovery
• A sonic feast of street ambiance, sizzling kitchens, and cultural pride
• A powerful original track, “Hand to Memory”
