I’m thrilled to kick off 2026 as part of the Yelp LA Elite Squad! Being a Yelp Elite for 18 years straight has been an incredible journey — from discovering hidden gems to sharing my favorite spots around the city.

This past year, I wrote my most reviews ever — 170! Each review was a chance to share my foodie adventures, not just in LA, but around the world, including the Philippines.

I like to call this my Elite era — a time for savoring amazing meals, uncovering new favorites, and celebrating everything that makes the LA and beyond food scene so special. From hidden gems in the city to culinary adventures across the world, every meal is an opportunity to explore, share, and connect.

Here’s to more foodie discoveries, unforgettable bites, and fun memories in 2026! 🍽️🔥
