April 23, 7:00 P.M. Dinner: A Filipino Feast with James Beard-Nominated Chef Lordfer Lalicon of Kaya

The James Beard-Nominated Chef/Owner Highlights Modern Filipino Flavors

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

Diners in Orlando flock to chef Lordfer Lalicon’s Kaya for stupendous Filipino cuisine—a 2024 James Beard Best New Restaurant Nominee and recipient of Florida’s first-ever Michelin Green Star, awarded to restaurants leading the charge in sustainability. Case in point: On his restaurant’s property, chef Lordfer grows calamansi, guava, figs, bananas, lemongrass, marigolds, sweet potato leaves, and more. Before moving back to his home state more than a decade ago, the 20-year industry veteran spent years working at Carbone and at the renowned Blue Hill. For this evening, he will be showcasing modern Filipino flavors and ingredients, paying homage to nose-to-tail eating utilizing fermentation practices—and he will share his homegrown and locally sourced ingredients.
