An assortment of grilled and fried foods displayed on a street food stall. There are fried fish, skewers of grilled chicken, and various other meats on plates. Surrounding the main dishes, there are containers with sauces, fresh vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce, and trays of condiments. The vibrant colors suggest a traditional and busy market atmosphere.

Adobo Throwdown was a fantastic celebration of Filipino culture and cuisine. I can't wait for next year’s event!

A close-up view of two plates filled with golden-brown fried snacks, garnished with white frangipani flowers. A strand of pearly beads is elegantly placed beside the plates on a dark textured background.
