For Filipinos in the diaspora, adobo is more than just a dish—it’s home. As many of us immigrated to the U.S. through military service, we brought our food traditions, and adobo became the ultimate symbol of that connection to our roots. Luna’s adobo story shows how Filipino Americans continue to adapt while holding onto their heritage.

Luna’s father, a Navy chef, taught her the love of cooking, and she now carries that legacy forward through Luna’s Lumpias. Her version of adobo, blending traditional and modern flavors, is a reminder that no matter where Filipinos go, home is where adobo is.

In this episode, we explore what adobo means to the Filipino American experience—how it represents family, memory, and cultural pride. Whether you’re in San Diego or anywhere else in the world, adobo brings that familiar taste of home. It’s more than just soy sauce and vinegar simmering in a pot—it’s the feeling of belonging.

Luna’s Lumpias reflects not only the evolution of Filipino food but also the journey of Filipino Americans across the globe. Join us as we celebrate the past, present, and future of Filipino food through Luna’s story and the dish that connects us all—adobo.
