In this unforgettable episode of Let's Chisme con Chanti, we're going GREEN – literally and figuratively – as we dive into the heart of Filipino cuisine, sustainability, and community building with the trailblazing team behind Kaya, Orlando's first-ever Green Michelin Star restaurant.
Chanti sits down with Chef Lord Maynard Lalicón (aka Lo) and community builder Jamie Baile to talk about:
- What a Green Michelin Star really means
- How they reached 90% locally sourced ingredients
- The journey from NYC kitchens to building community through food in Orlando
- Filipino x Latino food parallels (yes, we had mofongo AND vinegar love)
- The power of intentionality, legacy, and representation in food spaces
- Their upcoming pastry and boba collab
It's more than a restaurant – it's a movement. Whether you're a foodie, a culture nerd, or a fan of good vibes and great chisme, this one's for you.
