when i first started cooking, i never imagined my journey would lead me here, representing my culture and heritage in such a meaningful way. food has always been more than flavors on a plate, it is a story, it is a memory, and it is a way of honoring those who came before us. every dish we create is inspired by the lessons and sacrifices of our families, and the generations of filipinos who paved the way for us to dream bigger. as we celebrate filipino american history month, i hope we continue to share our voices, honor our roots, and uplift one another as we build the future of filipino excellence. thank you filipinotown.magazine terrencejeffreysantos for the opportunity, and for bringing so many of us together. the love and passion for our culture shine brightest when we are united, and that is what makes this moment so special. mabuhay ❤️💙💛 grab your copy today, link in bio 2025-10-03 02:56:29 when i first st.. 0 - 30 +166%

our pato tim 🦆 is finally back on the menu at kayu.dc! we cure and air dry our ducks for 14 days with our signature 8 spice rub, and the aromas that fill the room once we start roasting bring back so many nostalgic vibes of home. chef jaerfelipe absolutely nailed this one. it’s been such a smooth and heartfelt transition into dupont circle and we truly appreciate all the love and support this neighborhood has shown us 💚🧡 we’re also excited to announce that hiraya brunches are finally making their way to kayu starting october 5th! reservations are now live on resy can’t wait to welcome you all back for brunch 🥂 #filipinofoodforward 2025-09-25 06:12:25 our pat.. 0 - 5 -56%

our ensaymada bomboloni glazed with truffle honey. black truffle cream. smoked cheddar and prosciutto on the pass tonight kayu.dc this dish celebrates the cross intersection of filipino and italian cooking. chef juliecortess created it as an homage to her mother in italy and it shows how food can bridge distance, carry memories, and bring us closer to the ones we love. it may not be traditional and it may not look authentic to some but for us this is exactly what food should be. it evolves, it adapts, it tells our story. this is how we continue to share our heritage and our vision one plate at a time. #filipinofoodforward 2025-09-07 01:12:55 our ensaymada bomboloni g.. 0 - 2 -82%

grateful to be featured in the upcoming filipinotown.magazine DC edition this october, just in time for filipino american history month 🇵🇭✨ seeing this shot by craignisperos terrencejeffreysantos takes me back to the grit, the long nights, and the countless challenges it took to get here. the journey has not always been easy, but it has been fueled by a never give up mentality and a deep love for sharing our culture through food. this moment is not just about me, it is about honoring the sacrifices, the resilience, and the community that continues to push filipino cuisine forward. proud to be part of this story, and excited for what is next 🙏❤️ #filipinofoodfroward 2025-09-01 04:55:51 grateful t.. 0 - 4 -65%

what started out as a regular taekwondo workout ended with me in the er at holy cross after doctors told me i had a mild heart attack. definitely not the outcome i imagined walking into class. life has a way of stopping you in your tracks and showing you what truly matters. moments like this put everything into perspective. one minute you are going about your day, the next you are faced with news that makes you see things differently. it’s a wake up call to slow down, appreciate the present, and be grateful for the people we love, the breaths we take, and all the little moments we often overlook. please take care of yourselves and never take your health for granted. 🙏❤️ 2025-08-20 00:26:59 what started out.. 0 - 130 +1,052%

Burnt Cassava 🇵🇭 Cheesecake a la Chef budgie_montoya During the pandemic, I went through a full-on obsession with making basque style cheesecakes. I remember working with my uncle Chef pichetong , testing different variations and writing recipe after recipe. When I came across Chef Budgie’s featrmedia video making this version, I instantly knew it had to be on the menu when kayu.dc reopened. I have always loved cassava for its unique texture, its flavor, and the fact that it is such a versatile ingredient, equally at home in sweet or savory dishes. I have said it before and I will say it again: we draw inspiration from one another to keep championing Filipino heritage. Thank you chef for sharing a few tricks up your sleeve. We are open tonight for walk ins for our last soft opening, and reservations for tomorrow’s opening are live on Resy (link in bio). We can’t wait to cook for everyone again. #filipinofoodforward 2025-08-05 18:16:24 Burnt Cassava.. 0 - 4 -65%

Christian christianorigenes was in the kitchen with us today kayu_dc , cameras rolling, sweat dripping. It was blazing hot, a beautiful chaos. He showed up to capture it all with care and intention. His upcoming film Kamayan kamayanfilm is something truly special, a celebration of Filipino food, family, and the layered stories that shape who we are. It’s raw, intimate, and deeply reflective of our roots and our future. Proud of this brother and everything he’s pouring into this story. Keep your eyes out, this one’s for the culture 🇵🇭❤️ #filipinofoodforward 2025-06-22 06:35:17 Christian.. 0 - 5 -56%
In honor of Filipino 🇵🇭 Independence Day, I want to take a moment to celebrate the heart and soul of what we built at hirayadc and kayu_dc on H Street. As we approach the end of this chapter, I’m filled with deep gratitude for every dish that came out of our kitchens, not just as food, but as stories. Stories of migration, memory, family, and joy. Each plate we served carried the spirit of home and the brilliance of Filipino creativity, bold, soulful, and unapologetically rich in flavor and history. This post is a tribute to the incredible chefs, cooks, and collaborators who poured their passion into honoring our heritage, elevating humble ingredients, reviving regional recipes, and boldly reimagining traditions. Filipino food is not a monolith, it is diverse, layered, and ever-evolving. And I’m so proud that through our work, we’ve created a space where that truth could shine. We can’t wait to welcome you during our final days here on H Street and even more excited to welcome you into our new home very soon. Thank you for believing in us, for showing up, and for making space for Filipino stories at the table. • 🦀 Crabfat Donut. Lardo. Uni. • 🦑 Squid ‘Nata De Coco’. • 🍲 Saffron Arroz Caldo. Abalone.

Our homage to a Tausug classic — Chicken Pyanggang 🇵🇭 Bobo Farm’s chicken, marinated in burnt coconut, lemongrass, bird’s eye chilies, and turmeric, served with Virginia asparagus and a wild ramp salsa verde.

Foie gras has always been one of my favorite ingredients to prep — there’s something so delicate yet unapologetically rich about it. Growing up in the Philippines, I didn’t know what foie gras was — but I did know the joy of spreading liver pâté onto warm pandesal in the mornings. It was one of those small, everyday comforts that left a lasting imprint on my palate and my memory. This dish is a quiet homage to that nostalgia — a bridge between past and present, between the flavors of my childhood and the techniques I’ve come to love. foie gras terrine | harrysberries 🍓 | Chef juliecortess sourdough pandesal 🇵🇭🍞 kayu.dc #filipinofoodforward 2025-05-09 01:45:15 .. 0 - 3 -73%
Tiyula Itum 🇵🇭 — Chef Julie’s love letter to her grandparents. 👵👴 Chef juliecortess shares a deeply personal dish inspired by childhood summers on her grandparents’ coconut farm, where she first learned that every part of the coconut — like every part of life — holds meaning. This Three-Way Coconut version with aussiebeeflamb honors the Filipino spirit of resourcefulness, where nothing is wasted and everything has a purpose. More than just food, this dish is a story passed down through generations — a tribute to memory, culture, and the flavors that raised her. Tiyula Itum is a traditional Tausug dish from the southern Philippines — a rich, deeply savory beef stew made black by burnt coconut (sinunog na niyog), layered with spices, and often reserved for special occasions. Its dark color symbolizes the depth of its flavor and the soulful complexity of Tausug cuisine — bold, proud, and rooted in ancestral wisdom. For Chef Julie, this dish is a return to her roots — a reimagined homage to the lessons her grandparents taught her: the value of hard work, the sanctity of the harvest, and the beauty of making something meaningful out of everything. A tribute to her roots. An homage to the elders who came before. A reminder that the past is always with us — if we choose to carry it forward. Coming soon to kayu.dc — this upcoming week! 2025-05-03 23:35:27 .. 0 - 3 -73%
Happy Birthday to the woman who gave me everything before I even knew how to ask. Mom, you are the heartbeat of our family — the quiet strength behind every triumph, the gentle voice in every storm, the light that’s always on when the world gets dark. You’ve carried the weight of our worlds on your shoulders with grace, never once asking for applause, but always deserving it. Your love is the kind that doesn’t waver — the kind that teaches, protects, forgives, and uplifts all at once. You’ve taught me how to move through life with humility and courage. You’ve shown me that strength doesn’t have to be loud, and that sacrifice often speaks the loudest in silence. Every lesson, every story, every dish you made with love — they live in me. You gave me roots, and you gave me wings. I am who I am because of the way you loved, led, and never gave up — even when things were hard. Especially when they were hard. Today, I celebrate not just your birthday, but the legacy of your heart. I hope you feel a fraction of the love you’ve poured into others — today and every day. You are appreciated more than words will ever do justice. Love you forever, 💙 2025-04-21 20:37:36 .. 0 - 2 -82%
When my good friend vinasana asked if I wanted to be a chef partner for a project with oishii.berry , I said yes immediately—without even knowing what we were doing. As a savory chef, I’ve always been curious (and slightly obsessed) with pushing into pastry. I’ve been lucky to learn from someone I truly admire, Chef pichetong, whose approach to balancing sweet and savory continues to inspire me. For this collab, we created a dessert that pays homage to our old stomping grounds at Restaurant Eve—a nod to nostalgia and that classic combo: berries & cream. 🍓🍦 bay leaf bavarois, oishii strawberries compressed in getgraza olive oil & lime zest, oishii strawberry ice cream, and brown butter pistachio.

What an inspiring weekend at thechefconference in Philly! It was an honor to be in the room with so many chefs and industry leaders we deeply admire. The hospitality from every restaurant we visited was nothing short of remarkable. Grateful for the chance to reconnect with old friends, catch up with colleagues, and meet new faces who share the same passion. Back in DC feeling recharged, inspired, and more motivated than ever to keep pushing forward. Huge thanks to The Chefs Conference and mjtraud for bringing us all together this past weekend!
