The History of Guamanian Cuisine

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 26. If you're interested in bold flavors and a fusion of various cultures, then you should try Guamanian AKA Chamorro cuisine! With a foundation from the indigenous Chamorro people of Guam, Guamanian Cuisine has adapted and adopted ingredients, techniques, and entire dishes from the Philippines, Japan, Spain, Mexico, and more. Much like the Philippines and Hawaii, colonialism and migration have changed Guamanian cuisine over time. In this episode, we review the history and cuisine of Guam. If you're interested in trying some Guamanian cuisine, we recommend checking out Annie's Chamorro Kitchen. It's a site dedicated to sharing Chamorro cuisine. Cooking not your thing? If you're in California, there are two restaurants we found that serve Guamanian Cuisine… SMACK'n Guamanian Grill in San Diego and Prubechu in San Francisco. Check them out if you're local to those places! We also introduce a new recurring segment called Which Do You Hate More? Where we discuss two phrases: "Your English is So Good" and "Where are You Really From?"
