Nick Saunders & The Passion for Filipino Food
Today we’re in the Permanent Record Studios in Texas, with Nick Saunders, CEO and owner of Carabao express, a restaurant that makes Filipino food and bubble tea.
We got some ace pizza, had a real good eat together, and talked about our passions for food. Nick’s learnt a lot about Filipino cuisine during the years he’s spent running his restaurant and he shares a bunch of what he’s learned with us.
We question the term ‘all natural’, why it’s seen as important, and how it’s been hijacked by some companies, and then with our bellies full, and feeling very satisfied we start talking about the differences between America and England.
It’s time to say our goodbyes, but not before Nick makes his exclusive announcement...
