My wife is Filipina from Mindanao. We’ve been married for 30 years and live in CT. My son is also Filipino and his wife. They told me the best Lechon is in Talisay, Cebu.

OMG bring on the food. I’ve heard so many good things about that place. Definitely on the food bucket list.

The way everyone happily took the pig back just so you could record it being brought in was amazing lol. What a nice and hospitable group. That lechon looks delicious.

Oh my gosh the customer service is amazing!! They were just super happy to serve you. I have never received that type of customer service in Canada ahahahh

It is a hard competition for Lechon in Cebu.. But most people you ask will say either House of Lechon or Ricos Lechon.. In terms of the big places.. I prefer this one, "House of Lechon" because they also have a good selection of other authentic filipino dishes in a good quality.

Lechon is a must in Cebu! 3:58 They also serve classic Bibingka & Puto Bumbong. 8:25 Kinilaw and Baked Scallops NICE! 😋👍

Hi Jonathan, I think from watching your videos that the hospitality and friendliness of the people always takes first place when in the Philippines. It is great advertising to the local restaurants in which you eat.

Wow Jonathan, I am now starving. Love watching your videos. My wife is from Cebu. Been married to my Filipino now for eight years and I love Filipino food here in LA California.

Man, avoid saying "my Filipino". Filipinos having been colonised and treated like lower class citizens or even slaves by the Spanish and then the Americans, it gives off a degrading tone like owning someone as an object (or a slave). Say "my Filipino wife" instead. Just a friendly tip 😊

"Cebu Lechon" is the Best in the World. According to Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmerman who visited Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭. Both of them are Chef Cook, Author, Americans and have a Food Network Channel in the U.S.A. You can eat Lechon with your hand or fork, spoon, chopsticks, whichever you prefer, we Filipinos eat it with our hands..😂 I always subscribe to your Channel Jonathan, always: God Bless, "Amping" meaning in Bisaya dialect Take Care!...

Thanks Jason! Plenty more of those types of videos to come!

I love how they informed you the way to eat the kinilaw with the rice cracker. I would definitely have the vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi sauce for the lechon., though I would try the spicy sauce. When you were dipping the lechon in the vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi sauce, I swear I smelled the lechon for a second 😂. I would definitely visit this place. Thanks for the video on this!
