CHOP Manila (Culinary Historians of the Philippines) Meeting, 26 March 2012

The Culinary Historians of the Philippines (CHOP Manila) had a successful meeting Monday, March 26, 2012, at the beautiful home of one of its founding members, Gracita.

The meeting was a lot of fun, a gaggle of girls gathered together to eat, drink, laugh and gab, and then to sit down and discuss serious CHOP business. We covered a lot of ground during the meeting, and so CHOP marches on, as Nigna would say.

CHOP - Culinary Historians of the Philippines in Manila

I'm a proud member of the Culinary Historians of Washington, DC (CHoWDC), and with the organization's blessing, I founded a similar group in Manila, called the Culinary Historians of the Philippines in Manila (CHOPinManila). I gathered 7 friends and family members and, after a few meetings, we officially established CHOPinManila in February 2011, with the 7 founding members making up the first Board of Directors.
