It is the brain child of Dorothy Hernandez, the passionate foodie who grew up feasting on her mother’s home-style Filipino cooking, and Jake Williams, the trained chef who refines these flavors using advanced culinary technique. Their partnership is encapsulated in this Saturday’s “bulalo,” a beef broth that steeps bones and marrow to make it so rich. “I went to \[Jake\] and said, ‘I want to reimagine this dish that reminds me of my mom,” Dorothy said. “It’s soul food to me. He took that idea, roasted marrow bones and served it with popcorn polenta and cilantro lime gremolata. He reinterpreted it to the next level. The beautiful presentation reminds you of bulalo, but it’s a new way of looking at it.” [![Plating a BBQ pork, tomato and egg salad.

And because the Phillipines is made of more than 7,000 islands, each region has their own version of the same dish. [![What Sarap has done in the past: BBQ pork, tomato and egg salad.

Sarap, however, will use their pop-up to launch a line of Filipino products, like banana ketchup and coconut jam, to be sold in a retail setting. Take a look at Sarap’s Saturday menu, which prides itself in using the best seasonal and local ingredients.
