The Adobo Road Cookbook: A Filipino Food Journey-From Food Blog, to Food Truck, and B

Marvin Gapultos is the author of the celebrated food blog, Burnt Lumpia, and was the founder of Los Angeles' first gourmet Filipino food truck, The Manila Machine. Because of his contemporary take on traditional Filipino food, The Manila Machine gained both a loyal following as well as critical acclaim, in just a short period of time. Using his knowledge of Filipino ingredients and flavors, Marvin not only developed the menu for his mobile restaurant, but he was also responsible for cooking the food. In fact, many of the menu items served from The Manila Machine originated on Marvin's blog. His singular passion and focus on the food of the Philippines has made him one of the leading voices on Filipino cooking. Marvin spends his time as a food and marketing writer. He lives with his wife and son in Southern California.
