USPB treats relations in the Phillipines on potato filled menu

The United States Potato Board (USPB) Philippine Representative Office organized a Thanksgiving Dinner for its trade partners and media who have been supportive of US frozen potato products and events over the past several years. The dinner was held at the Museum Café in Makati City, which is known as “The Financial Capital of the Philippines” and Metro Manila’s Central Business District.

Attendees included restaurant owners, marketing managers, purchasers, operations managers, suppliers/distributors, along with chefs, writers and editors from some of the country’s top newspapers, magazines and food blog sites. USDA’s Agricultural Attaché, David Wolf, gave a background on traditional Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States. This included how the traditions began, and how it has become the top holiday celebration of American families. Wolf also thanked everyone for their continued support of the USPB and other US agricultural products.
