The chef, who happens to be a restaurateur and sushi chef, as well as a Masterchef Norway judge, made the pronouncement during a TV program 4-stjerners middag (4-star dinner).
He was a guest in the said show and he was asked to give his opinion on Filipino dishes.
The translation went:
"It’s very bad food."
"In the eyes of a chef, there is no food art in my eyes, unfortunately."
"Lots of deep-fried, lots of fried-to-death stuff like casserole dishes."
"If you can put it that way, they do not have the same taste composition as Thai food."
"Filipino food is more on the sour side."
The words did not sit well with the Philippine Embassy in Norway that it also issued an official statement about the matter.
Later, Romano issued a public apology. He said that he was sorry and that his words were taken out of context.
