The proud son of Filipino immigrants, he grew up immersed in his family?s cultural heritage, while also enjoying the life of a typical American kid.

TALDE now has a second location in Jersey City, NJ. Dale and his partners at Three Kings Restaurant Group (TKRG), David Massoni and John Bush, opened ?Italian-ish?
