Miss your favorite Mercato dishes? Kumu’s got you!

There’s no doubt how many have already felt the adverse effects that the COVID-19 pandemic had suddenly brought businesses and individuals. Employees were losing jobs, self-earning individuals were not seeing that many opportunities, and businesses large or small saw their most difficult this year.
With the aim to help more Filipinos continue pushing forward, leading Pinoy social media platform KUMU takes on a campaign that aims to jumpstart lives in the new normal by looking into the many opportunities that the platform has the potential to fulfill. One of these opportunities happens via their new initiative, KUMU Lives Streaming #LivesGoOn.
The good, better, and best in Mercato e-orders
The KUMU team is absolutely inspired to help more Pinoys, from students to business owners, find more opportunities via specific shows that reach the right and much wider audience. And if there’s one thing that many foodies miss during the crisis, it’s the Mercato experience of having food cooked right in front of you and served fresh and hot off the grill.
How can we experience this unique culinary experience during the new normal? Via Pitch Your Dish on KUMU, that’s how!

Hosted by none other than Mercato Centrale co-founder and award-winning TV and events host Mr. RJ Ledesma together with his fellow Mercato superstars Vanessa Pastor-Ledesma, James Paulo Pelagio, and Alek Dava, from Monday to Saturday, 12 NN, Pitch Your Dish features your favorite vendors from the top food night market and small food business incubator in the country. Also featured are more up-and-coming and home-based vendors who’ll be cooking your favorite dishes via livestream.
But that’s just the good in Pitch Your Dish! What’s even better is how Kumunizens can easily make e-orders with just one click via the platform. Best of all, you get to help small food businesses weather the current crisis with every order you make!
KUMU’s Pitch Your Dish encourages food sellers from Mercato Centrale to live stream via KUMU and showcase their featured unique and ‘delish’  dishes for more online orders. The live streams also give Kumunizens a chance to gather some cooking tips from these culinary experts just by watching the show and e-order at will when their tummy begins to crave and growl!
The novel initiative is in partnership with the Mercato Centrale Group, the Mercato Academy, and Mercato Favorites Online Delivery Cloud Kitchen.
