About CHOP

The Culinary Historians of the Philippines (CHOP) is a non-profit sister organization of the Culinary Historians of Washington, D.C. (CHoWDC). We are not historians in the academic or scholarly sense; we are students of culinary history who want to give back to society through culinary-based programs. Our mission: To study, promote, and help preserve the history and heritage of Philippine cuisine and culinary customs/traditions; to implement advocacy programs; and to study the cuisines of other countries. [Your comments on our posts are most welcome.]

Meeting with John Leyson, January 29, 2014 (Wildflour Cafe, Taguig)

Meeting with John Leyson
President & Owner
liquid and liquid CREATIONS (a Brand Design Company)
January 29, 2014

We have CHOP Vice-President Alvin Reyes Lim to thank for introducing us to John, who offered to design a logo for us after reading up on what the organization was about. He shared our passion for CHOP's mission, and we were utterly grateful when he offered to do the design for free.

What John delivered took our breath away:  a unique and beautiful design that embodied the essence of the organization, and fulfilled our desire to use the "palayok" (clay pot) as the central focus of the design. (The palayok is considered by many Filipinos as representative of their culinary heritage, and is still used to this day in many parts of the country.)

We cannot thank John enough, because his design never fails to elicit raves and compliments (and it also looks gorgeous on merchandise that CHOP produces and sells, and on business cards).

John has also provided valuable advice regarding building/designing a CHOP website. (CHOP has bought a domain on the Web, but the design work has been temporarily shelved for now, especially since CHOP has--in April 2015- established a new public blog site:  chopphilippines.blogspot.com.)




(The MINUTES of this meeting are in CHOP’s Archives.)
