Cutlery — forks, knives, spoons — is customary at a table setting. But Filipino “gastropub” Jeepney recently introduced a series that seriously challenges that custom.
Every Thursday night, Jeepney hosts a “Kamayan” night, which features a prix fixe menu designed to be eaten solely with the hands. Sound entertaining, messy and delicious? Well, that’s the point.
“When you’re home amongst family, or when you feel the most comfortable, is when you eat with your hands,” said owner Nicole Ponseca. “People always say, ‘Why does it always taste better when we eat Kamayan?’ It’s a testament that food isn’t just about the dish, it’s about the experience.”
There are actually other spots to find finger-lickin’ good eats, too. Here's where:
