The newest episode features Jordan Andino, 27-year-old Filipino NYC chef and restaurant creative, who’s behind the bomb Filipino taqueria 2nd City in West Village.

FEATURED STORIES

He talks about having to prove himself as a chef due to his young age, despite having the experience and knowledge, how he set goals that helped him achieve success, and how different flavors from Mexican, Japanese, Chinese and Filipino cuisines ultimately inspire his culinary style.

Also, the best part is definitely watching him cook and assemble his custom “Amasian” slider, with braised and deep fried pork belly with a calamansi and miso glaze, red onions pickled in vinegar and sugar, and fresh chopped scallions and sliced avocado.

We of course needed to see what his take on the White Castle Original Slider would look (and taste) like. Andino’s been a fan of the sandwiches ever since his father took him to the restaurant for his first bite while on a road trip up to Toronto.

Getting into the 2nd City mindset, he conceptualizes a savory-sweet Slider that could fit right alongside the other craveable items offered at 2nd City. Nicknaming his fruit the “Amasian Slider,” it has:

  • braised and deep fried pork belly with a calamansi and miso glaze
  • red onions pickled in vinegar and sugar
  • fresh chopped scallions and sliced avocado

Soooo… when’s the next flight to New York?
