In Filipino Food, Badajos lays out an odyssey of surreal and intensely psychedelic panels, sequentially flowing between material and immaterial mutations, and replete with the somewhat chaotic cultural and sexual motifs common to underground comix.

Ed Badajos (1942-1983), a native of Honolulu, Hawaii, was a Filipino-American cartoonist and illustrator. He was the editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Free Press and his work could also be seen in underground publications such as the Berkeley Barb, Oz, and The Staff. His exhibition at the Molly Barnes Gallery consisted of the originals that would appear in Filipino Food.
