Chef David Thien X Chef Lisa Revilla!

On September 19, 2024, Chef Lisa Revilla and Chef David Thien will whip up a five-course Filipino-French gourmet dinner. Revilla was born and raised in the Philippines but headed to the Big Apple to sharpen her skills—and knives—as a chef in New York at various prestigious institutions. Thien, originally from the town of La Réole near Bordeaux, France, gained extensive culinary training in Michelin-starred restaurants. The two are married and are now based in Davao where they offer private dining at their home, 16 Ramona. Together, Revilla and Thien will provide a unique vantage point for participants to immerse in the intersection of culture and food in the diaspora.
