Sunda
Billy Dec Dishes on the Rise of Filipino Food in Chicago

“Growing up, we’re conditioned to never share these things, but now we’re cooking creative, modernized versions of Filipino classics and sharing it with our customers.” So says Billy Dec, CEO of Rockit Ranch Productions. The Filipino-American restaurateur has ardently been paving the way for a Filipino food renaissance in Chicago since launching Sunda in River North. Looking back, times have changed since Dec opened the downtown Asian staple, as appetites shift towards the adventurous and the curious, inevitably welcoming Filipino food into the culinary spotlight as one of the final frontiers of "trendy" Asian cuisines.
