'PBB: Celebrity Collab 2.0': Chef Jorge Mendez guides housemates on cooking for weekly task

Chef Jorge Mendez, the father of Caprice Cayetano, made a surprise visit to “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0.”

On Monday’s episode of the reality show, Chef Jorge prepared a special omelet for breakfast so the housemates could fuel up before working on their new weekly task.

During his conversation with Kuya, Chef Jorge—the brain behind restaurants Modan, Mugen, and Some Thai—said it's usually his family who gets to try his new food creations.

“Normally, kapag may ginagawa kaming concept, sila muna ‘yung tumitikim,” he said.

“And we gather over food, sobrang mahilig kami sa pagkain, lalo na si Caprice,” he added.

For their new weekly challenge, the housemates are tasked with pairing up and creating two dishes per group, which they can consult with Chef Jorge before serving.

The first duo to put their cooking skills to the test were Krystal and Carmelle, who prepared ginataang kalabasa with shrimp and tuna crisp.

Earlier, “PBB: Collab 2.0” announced the nominated housemates:  Joaquin Arce, Sofia Pablo, Eliza Borromeo, Carmelle Collado, Heath Jornales, and Caprice.

"Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" airs on GMA Network weeknights at 9:40 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 6:15 p.m. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News
