Chismis & Co. is back to throw a Filipino kamayan feast titled Handaan where diners are invited to eat with their hands. Mark your calendar for Wednesday, October 2 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. to see what local restaurateur and chef Noel Cruz has cooked up.

The menu is stacked with appetizers like lumpia (spring roll) made with Impossible meat and grilled whole squid. The kamayan feast (served family-style) will be packed with peel & eat tamarind shrimp, roasted eggplant and crab tortas, pompano steamed banana in leaves, and Filipino meatloaf alongside rice and vegetables. A roasted pig will also make an appearance.

During these feasts, the food is laid upon large banana leaves and diners go to town, without utensils, on the array of dishes in front of them. When the meal is done, the scraps are rolled up and tossed in the trash. Damn, talk about easy cleanup.

Lasing Kitchen teams up with Cruz for this edition of the kamayan feast and future Seminole Heights tiki bar Pink Pineapple is creating the craft cocktail while Hidden Springs Ale Works — which is hosting the event — stages specialty beer pairings.

Seating is limited, and $65 tickets can be purchased through hiddensprings.com; do your fellow diners a favor and give your hands a good scrub before arrival.
