Glenn Demonteverde

Raised in Cupang, a coastal village in the Philippines, Glenn grew up with a deep respect for food, learning early how ingredients are gathered, prepared, and transformed with care. Guided by his mother, a gifted cook and entrepreneur, he developed an instinct for balance, patience, and the belief that cooking is both craft and connection.

Those childhood lessons, shaped by community feasts, rural coastal living, and the rhythm of Filipino home cooking, remain the foundation of his culinary ethos today.

Every dish he creates is grounded in gratitude for where he comes from—a commitment to honest, thoughtful preparation, and a desire to share the warmth, heritage, and generosity that defined his earliest experiences around the table.
