Maria Polotan probably did more to transform my appreciation of Filipino food than anyone. Prior to starting The Dep, I hadn’t really had much experience with this cuisine. But that all changed when Maria brought these amazing flavours to Mama Linda’s — her 2020 Brunch residency at The Dep, and then to Lami, her East end brunch pop-up. All I can say is if you have not had the chance to try silog, the classic Filipino brunch of garlic fried rice with a fried duck egg, topped with Maria’s homemade savoury-sweet, Pinoy-style bacon, sausage or hash, you want to get on that ASAP. To help make that happen, I’m delighted to bring Maria’s fabulous brunch to the new Depanneur at CSI for one day only, with three 90 minute family-style seatings.
Note: Maria makes all of her sausage and corned beef from scratch (brined for 1 week!) using quality local meats from Sanagan’s, and uses gluten-free soy sauce throughout.
