My goal is to help make Filipino food mainstream.  Growing up half Filipino, half American, I've always put a little twist on my Filipino food.  Sometimes making it more 'Americanized' so my non-Filipino friends would try it!  I've created a series called:  Does It Lumpia?   In this first episode, I take an American staple food, wrap it up and fry it to find out, Does it Lumpia?  Tell me what you think in the comments!  Would YOU try it? - Mary Grant Los Angeles, CA *To see more, you can find me on social media @MaryGrantTheFilipina
