Surf ’s up with chef JP Anglo
Surfing, cooking and eating mix well together as chef JP Anglo proved with the successful run of his first season of Hungry with Chef
JP, conceptualized and produced by local film company Seabiscuit Films. This time around, chef JP surfs his show onto a higher wave of culinary discoveries: the second season explores more food adventures in the different surfing spots of the Philippines. For starters, Hungry with Chef JP is a documentary series about rich Filipino cuisine and the active surfing community in the country. Each episode features different surfing hotspots in the Philippines as chef JP explores the area’s unique cuisine. The show pays tribute to the Filipinos’ penchant for surfing, and captures the essence of that lifestyle. Surfing isn’t limited to chasing waves and the adrenaline rush that comes with it; it is about belongingness and sharing experiences with the community. “You’re out in the middle of the water — waiting for sets, catching waves with your friends. You surf together and when you ride that wave and they see it, it’s a bond you share and something to talk about forever,” shares chef JP Anglo in one of the episodes.
The second season delves into the stories of different artisans and individuals living uniquely. It’s important for viewers to see how these people are living and to be inspired by their stories. “What makes this show different from the other shows is that it gives a glimpse of the lives of the local community within various surf spots. We wanted to feature locals making a difference either in food or in helping the community thrive. At the same time, we want to show how chef JP shares his skills and knowledge with the people he connects with and how he learns from their techniques and unique practices,” says Nicky Daez, Seabiscuit Films content creator and director.
