CNN Phl launches Hungry with Chef JP
CNN Philippines is set to air the second season of Hungry with Chef JP, a documentary series that combines three of the most-loved activities of Filipinos — cooking, eating and the beachcombing. Chef JP Anglo travels around the Philippines in search of the best surf spots while whipping up unique local dishes in between riding the waves.
The Bacolod-bred JP has food deeply rooted in his family life, as they used to own a restaurant in his hometown — these culinary beginnings served to frame the chef’s deep passion for cooking which he eventually developed into successful ventures in Manila: Filipino restaurant
Sarsa is highly-regarded for its fresh take on local cuisine, while concept food counter Liberation Shawarma is placed in one of the hippest, most-visited food halls in the city.
Outside of the kitchen, JP takes to the waves with equal enthusiasm, and in the show, both of JP’s worlds come together as he surfs in the most coveted spots in the country, all while cooking and enjoying his time with the locals.
The first episode of Hungry Season 2 finds Chef JP in Real, Quezon, where he explores the surf town, tackles the waves and cooks up a feast with the locals. From there, he roams the country and develops friendships with the people he meets, all through a love of food and surfing. This season zeroes in on local artisans and individuals with one-of-a-kind lifestyles.
