From Seafarer to Fine Dining Chef

From Seafarer to Fine Dining Chef

In this episode, we follow Chef Francis Lacson as he prepares to open Digámo in Marikina, the restaurant that brings together everything he has spent years working toward. From designing every dish and training the team to collaborating with artisans, designers, and makers, we get a rare look at what it takes to build a restaurant from the ground up.

Follow the final days before opening as the kitchen, dining room, collaborators, and team come together to build one of Marikina’s newest dining destinations.
