Maria Polotan probably did more to transform my appreciation of Filipino food than anyone. Prior to starting The Dep, I hadn’t really had much experience with this cuisine. But that all changed when Maria brought these amazing flavours to Mama Linda’s — her 2020 Brunch residency at The Dep, and then to Lami, her East end brunch pop-up. All I can say is if you have not had the chance to try silog, the classic Filipino brunch of garlic fried rice with a fried duck egg, topped with Maria's homemade savoury-sweet, Pinoy-style sausage or hash, you want to get on that ASAP. (Note: Maria makes all of her sausage and corned beef from scratch (brined for 1 week!) using quality local meats from Sanagan's, and uses gluten-free soy sauce throughout.)  Since this has become one of my all-time favourite brunch meals, and Mother's Day is the quintessential brunch day, it only makes sense to bring these things together at The Dep with three 2-hour family-style seatings: 10am, 12pm and 2pm.
