  On this episode we chat with Chef Nuit, Jeff, and Joel Regular, co-owners of a restaurant called Makilala in downtown Toronto. We learn about their journey to building Sukhothai, Pai, Kiin, and their other Thai restaurants - truly some of the best in the city - and we talk about how Makilala has become a quintessential part of the family. This year, Makilala landed in Toronto Life’s Best New Restaurants List, inviting more people than ever to the Filipino table.
