Chef Yana Gilbuena | The Salo Project

YANA Gilbuena, a Filipino born critically acclaimed global nomadic chef, started Salo Series to share with the world the vibrant food culture of The Philippines. The Salo Series hosts Filipino Pop-up Kamayan dinners where food is served on communal tables decked with banana leaves and guests are asked to eat with their hands. Yana just finished an American tour where she hosted pop-up dinners in 50 states in 50 weeks! She has also completed SALO Tours in Canada and Mexico and is gearing up for South America. She has also been featured in major publications such as The New York Times. This global culinary nomad aims to further her mission and be able to host a Salo in every continent.
