If you're one of the many who watched Netflix's Culinary Class Wars, we wouldn't be surprised if you're constantly looking for roundtrip flights going to South Korea just to get a taste of their dishes. But don't book that flight just yet—beloved Makati restaurant Your Local is bringing participants from the Korean cooking competition to the Philippines for their upcoming collaboration Mat Nam ("Where the Flavor Meets") to be held at Balmori Suites in Rockwell.
LOOK: Your Local will have a pop-up with Culinary Class Wars chefs for Mat Nam ("Where the Flavor Meets")
Mat Nam ("Where the Flavor Meets") is a collaboration between Your Local's Chef Patrick Go and the chefs who participated in Culinary Class Wars, namely Lee Young Sook, Choi Ji Hyung Choi, Bang Ki Su, and Kim Byung Moon. The chefs will be bringing their signature dishes to Manila, alongside all-new Your Local dishes in an exclusive, a la carte menu. It's something you definitely shouldn't miss, what with reservations for contestants' establishments skyrocketing since the show premiered.
Your Local's first international pop-up will run from April 6 to June 1 at The Balmori Suites.
