#340 This week's Happy Half Hour features mother-and-son duo Lia and Spencer Hunter of Lia's Lumpia. Their come-up story is a fascinating blend of family tradition, cultural preservation, and innovative culinary fusion that began long before the Hunters' foray into food competition TV. Spencer learned how to roll the thumb-thin Filipino fried and stuffed rolls from his mom, who learned from her mother, Spencer's grandmother, who opened the first Filipino restaurant in National City, called San-Loy's Lumpia and Food To Go. After stints cooking for the Malarkey universe and in the Panamanian jungle, he and his mom decided to strike out on their own with their unique soul food lumpia and other fusion dishes.
