Video Description

Host Seth Tillman heads to Egg Karne, a Filipino-American fusion restaurant nestled in a golf club clubhouse in Herndon, Virginia. He meets Alvin Barnuevo, the owner who demonstrates how to prepare an ube burger, a Filipino-inspired dish featuring ube, a purple sweet potato. Alvin explains that the ube will be used as pancake batter for the burger buns. He then prepares the ube batter, mixes it with dry ingredients, and cooks it on a grill along with homemade longanisa patties.
