Indianapolis Monthly debuts new foodie event: Global Eats
Indianapolis Monthly magazine is starting a new food event called Global Eats on July 29 at West Fork Whiskey in Westfield.
This exciting event will show off foods from around the world, with many local Indianapolis restaurants taking part, including the well-known Pinoy Garden Café from Bloomington.
Chris Manansala of Pinoy Garden Café and Andrea Ratcliff, Editor-in-Chief of Indianapolis Monthly, joined us to talk about the inspiration behind Global Eats, the types of food that will be featured, and why this event is a must-attend for food lovers.
People who come can enjoy many international dishes. One of the special guests was Chris Manansala, who had started Pinoy Garden Café.
Chris’s café, which opened two years ago, makes tasty Filipino food like Pork Belly Trio, Chicken Lumpia, Spring Pork Rolls, Adobo Rice Trio, and Pancit Stir Fry Noodles with veggies. Guests can also try a popular Filipino dessert, Halo-Halo Overload, made with crushed ice, creamy milk, ube jam, flan, sweetened bananas, sweetened jackfruit, coconut strips, and coconut jellies.
There will also be music from around the world and a special whiskey and bourbon tasting by West Fork Whiskey Co. People can vote for their favorite food of the night and take photos at the “Where in the World” photo booth.
