About the birthday girl

75 years of "Have you eaten yet?"

For three quarters of a century, Myrna has loved her family the truest Filipino way — by feeding it. She raised a family, crossed an ocean, and somehow always had a pot of something warm on the stove "just in case." If you've ever left her house hungry, that's entirely on you, because she offered six times.

Now the whole Esguerra clan is gathering in Phoenix to spoil her for once. Come for the company, stay for the lechon, and bring the appetite she always knew you had.

"Have you eaten?" is how our family says I love you.

The Handaan

Come hungry. Leave with a Tupperware.

No Filipino party is complete without a table that takes up the entire table. Here's a taste of what's coming:

🐷LechonThe other guest of honor.
🍜PancitLong noodles = long life. Eat up for Myrna.
🥟LumpiaYou'll say "just one more." You won't mean it.
🍢BBQSweet, sticky, gone in minutes.
🥜Kare-KareDon't forget the bagoong.
🍚RiceObviously. Two cups minimum.
🍧Halo-Halo & UbePurple, sweet, and non-negotiable.
🍮Leche FlanSave room. We mean it.
Bring a container. Pabaon (take-home food) is a tradition, not a suggestion. "O sige, dalhin mo na." — every Filipino host, ever.

📷 Tip: drop your own photos of Myrna's famous dishes right here before you publish.
