Chef Julius Tacadena is bringing the flavors and memories of the Philippines and Hawai‘i to Chicago through Kanin.
Born in the Philippines and raised on Kaua‘i, Julius grew up surrounded by the food and culture that would eventually shape his culinary journey. After moving to Chicago and taking a nontraditional path through nursing and recruiting, he found his way back to food and began turning the flavors of home into something uniquely his own.
From Filipino classics and Hawaiian comfort food to musubi, Spam, longanisa and creative bodega-style dishes, Kanin has become a celebration of Julius's roots and the food memories that shaped him.
In this episode of Food Origins Podcast, we talk about growing up in Hawai‘i, Filipino food culture, the journey from pop-ups to Kanin, the story behind his food, Chicago's restaurant scene, and what it means to bring a taste of home to a new city.
