Friday Find: Filipino Lechon in Dallas

Monk: YouTuber Mikey Chen tries lechon, or Filipino roast pork, at ORC Filipino Asian/American BBQ in Dallas, which was recently featured in Texas Monthly. There, owners Allen and Jho Cook roast the pork in the Filipino tradition over live coals, and that pork is accompanied by sides and other dishes from Jho’s hometown of Abuyog in the Leyte province of the Philippines. The ORC segment lasts from 2:15-10:20.

Description:
Stumbled upon a truly delicious Filipino food experience in Dallas Texas where entire Lechons were roasted in the traditional way. Then went to try some unique Vietnamese fusion food as well as some cheesy Korean Fried Chicken!
