Abacá x Breadbelly Collaboration
Dinner
Two Chefs. One Cause.
After an earthquake struck the General Santos region of the Philippines, Abacá reached out about doing something. That conversation became this: a benefit dinner on Thursday, July 9th 2026 — in support of relief efforts and in homage to a place close to our hearts.
Together, we're brought forth a menu rooted in memory and place and we raised $2,060, which has been donated to the Rotary Club of Polomolok 101 and the GSC Medical Society to support their ongoing earthquake relief efforts.
If you want to support the cause further, reach out for more details on how to help.

A preview of one of our dishes. Years ago, Chef Kate sat down with a friend to teach him how to make balbacua — the rich, slow-cooked Filipino stew and one of the dishes we highlighted at the benefit dinner.
