Jordan Andino on Why You Need Spam in Your Life & Filipino Food Staples

Food Network Obsessed

Chef Jordan Andino clears up what it means when he was named “hottest chef” and describes what his twenties were like as he was navigating his career. He shares his experiences learning from his father in the kitchen, and the first dish he ever nailed perfectly. Jordan shares how formal culinary education sharpened his business acumen and his thoughts on being a successful chef and entrepreneur. Jordan reveals the meaning behind his restaurant name, Flip Sigi, the hallmarks of Filipino cuisine, and the food staples you will always find in a Filipino home. He then talks about his new Food Network show, Raid the Fridge, and what staples one should always have to throw together a great meal. He talks about his “tough love” approach to judging and if he’s ever had stage fright while filming.
