Alessandra de Rossi Instagram – Piolo Pascual believes that what makes Replacing Chef Chico so special is that it’s very Filipino. “The dishes speak a lot about our relationships, about our lives,” he explains. “It’s refreshing, it’s something new. It’s a feel-good kind of series that you’ll be able to feel hungry when you watch it, and you’ll want more episodes because of all the unique dishes that come with the story.” Beyond that, Sam Milby adds, “There’s so much more to the show. There’s so much heart in the other characters.” He goes on: “That’s what I think is beautiful about the show. Even the supporting cast, even ‘yong mga guest na dumadating sa Hain, the personal touch they get, the experience. When you give time to the people that you’re serving, the impact, the effect you can have on them is huge. It’s a very touching show.” “Very rare sa isang palabas na naka-focus sa guests at nandun ang heart of it,” Alessandra De Rossi agrees. Asked about a truly Filipino show like Replacing Chef Chico being released on a global platform, she says, “More than kaba, I think mas excited ako. It’s about time na malabas natin worldwide ‘yong [gawa natin]. Lumaban naman tayo, ‘di ba?” 📷: @artunepo #ReplacingChefChico #PioloPascual #AlessandradeRossi #SamMilby #Netflix
