00:00I think quite a few. Chef Jordi Navarro of Toyo Eatery most especially because he champions

00:06Filipino ingredients and I think that really is something admirable and I'd like to think

00:13that I try to apply that in all my concepts whether Filipino or not. So aside from Jordi,

00:18I really admire the Moment group and most especially Eli Antonino and Abba Napa most

00:25especially because of the way that they're able to grow their restaurant group in a way where

00:32their quality still is, quality still remains and they really make an impact with the food

00:37culture here in the country. And lastly, my uncle Oya Forres, cousin Raul and Tita Malu Forres of

00:46Mamu with the way they've also grown their restaurant group and still maintaining their

00:53heart and soul and also their restaurant food standards are still as delicious as it was when

00:59it first opened.
