During the contest, Bugtong will be representing ABACÁ, a Filipino restaurant in San Francisco, California, serving variations of Pinoy dishes with a twist.

“What an honor to be a James Beard Semi-Finalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef and Baker! It still feels surreal. I want to thank everyone who helped me become the cook or chef I am today,” Bugtong said on his Instagram account.

Manzke, on the other hand, will be representing République Cafe & Bakery in Los Angeles, which offers different variations of mouthwatering pastries.

Lastly is Verzosa, who will be representing a Filipino restaurant in Seattle, Archipelago, offering a fusion of Pinoy and American flavors on their dishes.
