Tatang, North Hollywood, CA (2025)

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. This is Chiho, Chef JR's wife and I'd like to like to share some updates with you.

Chef JR was discharged from the hospital on 28th of December, 2022 and has been resting at home. For those who are asking about updates, my apologies for not being able to respond in a timely manner.

Despite JR's limited mobility, his recovery has been good so far. According to his doctor, the recovery will take up to 1-2 months. Now he is fighting with pain caused by surgery. He can walk by himself and will be starting physical therapy soon.

Regarding our future plans for Tatang, we haven't made any decisions and details at this moment. We are focusing on his recovery and precious family time. Thank you so much for understanding.

Honestly, there are ups and downs everyday. We are taking one day at time. I know we can overcome this like we overcame the pandemic in 2020-2021 with your support.

We are so fortunate to have friends and family's support and Gofundme funds this time. Thank you so much for being around us and supporting us. We appreciate all the kinds of support you have given us.

Here’s JR after surgery teaching the kids how to make bread. Clearly he cannot wait to cook for you all again. 💕

Maraming Maraming salamat po.

Happy New Year!! To all our friends and family and supporters new and old, we wanted to give you an update of what has been going on behind the scenes of Tatang.
On December 23rd, Chef JR had an emergency triple bypass surgery. All was successful, but it was a major procedure, and he is now home recovering with family. So, if we have been slow to respond to your requests on here and elsewhere online, please forgive us as we need this time to reprioritize our lives and business.

As you know, Tatang has always been and always will be a family-owned business, so Chef's JR's health problems have affected all of us on a personal and business level. We will not be taking any catering orders for the foreseeable future during the healing process. We hope you can understand.
We may reopen in a different or limited capacity with Chef JR taking on less of a hands-on role. The truth is that times are uncertain, and we are still in recovery mode.
With that said, Chef JR's and Tatang's mission has, from the beginning, been to share Filipino flavors and traditions to the world and we take pride in being part of the growing Filipino Food Movement right here in Los Angeles. We want to see our food and culture thrive. And we promise you, we are not going anywhere.

Our friends and family have set up a gofundme for Chef JRs recovery process. If you'd like to donate, please go here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/chef-jr

If you've ever felt nourished eating a meal prepared by Chef JR, been welcomed to his table like family, or simply wish to support, please consider donating.

All donations will go to medical expenses and recovery, helping the family with living expenses as well as helping us transition to the next phase of Tatang, one where Chef JR will take a much-needed break from the reigns during his recovery.

Lastly, if you've read this long, thank you! We wanted to thank our entire community for the unending support and for being with us from Day 1. We could not have done it without you. Being in the restaurant and hospitality industry has been tough for us and for everyone these last few years. Thank you for treading the waters with us.

Thank you for your support❤️
Maraming Salamat 🙏

April + Homer Wedding - Food Photos ~

Exactly one month ago, I had my first food photo gig - taking pictures of the food at a wedding! My cousin - not by blood, but we essentially grew up together, so she’s just family), asked if I’d be interested in taking pics at her wedding to her now-husband, Homer, and of course I jumped at the chance. Taking photos of food that wasn’t mine- by request? Sure!

The food was catered and cooked by Chef JR of .la. It was kamayan style, with the food served family style and placed in the center of a long table directly on top of banana leaves. The food was insanely delicious- all of the best textures and flavors that Filipino food has to offer. You had crispy, soft, spicy, sweet, salty, juicy… every bite was a core memory being created.

It was a true honor to be part of this wedding the way I was. It was such a beautiful night of good people coming together to celebrate two of the nicest humans on the planet. And to have people gather together around this beautiful food and capture moments of community, laughter, and fun was such a surreal moment to be a part of. I’ll never forget this night.
