Global Cuisine Cooking Lessons: Ma’am Sir

September 25, 2020 | 5:00PM - 6:00PM

Recognized by MICHELIN as one of LA’s best restaurants, Ma’am Sir was a labor of love of Filipino chef Charles Olalia. Ma’am Sir dishes embody the energy of a “Filipino party in urban Manila,” in which the party, the vibe, the family, and the congregation of people are exemplified by food prepared from the heart. Join the Fowler and Chef Charles to say “paalam” (goodbye) to the celebrated restaurant which just announced it is closing its doors. Learn how to prepare Ma’am Sir’s famous Lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) and Vegetable Pancit (a traditional Filipino dish made with rice noodles). Ingredients list will be sent upon RSVP. Come with supplies prepared and ready to cook!
