Chef Chele González is a man who cannot sit still. When he’s not busy creating innovative tasting menus for his flagship restaurant Gallery by Chele, you can find him meeting with farmers to discover forgotten ingredients and making breakthroughs in sustainability, sharing this knowledge on the global stage through presentations and collaborations, or even opening new concepts around the country. His latest project, Asador Alfonso, shows another side to González—one that is absolutely worth the drive. Designed by architect Carlo Calma, the remarkable dining destination in Alfonso, Cavite makes a grand impression that chef González and his team continue to surpass with every bite, championing simple, produce-driven Asador cuisine you cannot find anywhere else in the Philippines, or perhaps even in Asia.
