If there are unsung heroes of Filipino cuisine, that would be the
carinderias or eateries. They may not be experts in reimaging local dishes, but their loyalty to traditional recipes matched with their home studied kitchen skills have kept the soul of Filipino cooking alive and enjoyed by the masses.
That is what Old Rooster Creek Filipino / Asian American BBQ, commonly known as ORC BBQ, wants to bring to Dallas, Texas in the US, the comfort that comes from Filipino food served by an eatery. Leading it is Allen Cook, an American-Japanese former military officer, and his wife Josephine Cook, a former Filipina band singer from Leyte. The two met in Singapore, and when they reached the US, they decided to establish the food spot in 2017.
