What did Margarita Fores feed Phil?
The son of the late chef, Amado Fores, revealed what she served Phil Rosenthal, the host of food and travel documentary "Somebody Feed Phil," when he visited the Philippines.
On Instagram, Amado said Margarita chose some of her favorite Filipino dishes, namely:
Whole Negros Lechon with Margarita Pale Ale
Oven-Roasted Ulang with Talangka Crab Fat
Lamb Balsamico Adobo
Laing with Lechon
Saang (Sea Conch) Sisig

"My mom fed Phil," Amado wrote. "Seeing her and [Grace Park Dining] on Somebody Feed Phil was surreal—completely in her element, doing what she loved most."
"Thank you, Phil and team, for including her—and for the quiet, beautiful tribute at the end of the episode," he added.
Grace Park is a restaurant that offers heirloom recipes by Margarita Fores.
It was featured on "Somebody Feed Phil" Season 8 Episode 7, the Manila episode.
Margarita, also fondly called Chef Gaita, passed away in February due to cardiac arrest. Aside from Grace Park, Margarita was also behind the restaurants Cibo, Lusso, and more.
Following her death, she was posthumously recognized by The World's 50 Best Restaurants for her contributions to the culinary community.
She was also bestowed with a Presidential Medal of Merit.
