Hmm.. considering being cool like Adrian and starting up more sites. then again, i dont think i have that time so this will have to do.
so you might be wondering. Adobo. why?
THe hopefully, someday, multi-platinum , 14 grammy's for best album, all for God, production company, Adobo Productions, finds its roots in food. Yes. food. Adobo chicken. Adobo. A filipino dish consisting of meat, vegetables, spices, soya sauce and vinegar. A simple food based on the essentials found in a chinese bachelor's kitchen using the mathematical ratio of 2:1 parts of soya sauce to vinegar with some water and garlic to create the most sensational dish to feed 7-10 mouths when sudden guests show up at your door for dinner. And I got famous in the Mcgill Ghetto for it. Well, at least i'd like to think so.


So anyway, the name came about as my in-the-near-future-multiplatinum-grammy winner-presently-my-roomate 8W (as he is known in the hip hop world, but to me Adrian.) began to rap about me cooking in my oh-so-not-made-for-chinese-cooking kitchen. CHicken adobo. While i was slicing and dicing away and his futile attempts to teach me to learn the fine art of free styling like "it dont matter where you're from , from here to conneticut, you're gonna get shredded with ettiquete subject and predicate.", he came up with the name, 'Its Big Jon Adobo in the house, mixing it live with y'all cats... check check it out. yo yo.' ok i made up that whole last bit but the big jon adobo part was his idea. Hey why not. it sounds cool. no one really knows what adobo really is except for the filipino community. So WHY NOT?
So the name has stuck to this day and so has the smell from cooking adobo chicken in my kitchen.
