Sarahlynn Pablo is a food and culture writer who covers the food scene in her home city of Chicago, which is an enormous and delicious food scene to cover — while also exploring her heritage as a second generation Filipino-American citizen.

Sarahlynn is a contributor to multiple books on both the topic of Chicago food and Pinoy culture, and how travel and culture come together beautifully through the expression of food, and why this matters.

We really connected on these topics - so I’m thrilled to have her here with us today to share her story about the discovery of self-identity, finding belonging through the exploration of travel and food.

Words from an Explorer:


“Food is not anonymous. These recipes come from a place and they come from families and they come from history. It’s such a great way to connect past and present together.” – Sarah Lynn Pablo
