Manila, Philippines — Filipino food creator Abi Marquez, widely known as the Lumpia Queen and managed by NYMA Talent Management, is featured in Being Gordon Ramsay, the recently released Netflix documentary series following world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay during a pivotal period of expansion in his career.
In Episode 4, Abi is seen being interviewed by the Netflix documentary team following her collaboration with Ramsay, offering insight into the experience and reflecting on the exchange between cultures, techniques, and perspectives in the kitchen. The segment provides a candid glimpse into the realities of working within a global culinary environment and the creative dialogue that emerges from such collaborations.
Being Gordon Ramsay documents Ramsay in the lead-up to the opening of five new restaurant concepts inside 22 Bishopsgate, one of London’s tallest buildings. Filmed over six months, the series offers an intimate look at Ramsay as he navigates the pressures of global expansion while balancing family life and the demands of running an international restaurant empire.
Abi’s inclusion reflects the evolving nature of today’s culinary landscape—one shaped not only by chefs and restaurants, but also by digital creators who serve as cultural bridges. With over 10 million followers across social media, Abi Marquez has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s most recognizable food creators, championing Filipino cuisine through accessible storytelling that resonates with audiences worldwide.
Building on this global exposure, Abi is set to take part in the upcoming Melbourne Food & Wine Festival, where she will collaborate with Melbourne-based Filipino-Italian chef Morris Danzen Catanghal at Nine Yards, marking another milestone in her growing international presence and continued efforts to bring Filipino food into global culinary conversations.
Providing additional context to the moment shown in the series, Abi later shared a single behind-the-scenes, documentary-style video on her YouTube channel, offering a personal look at the experience from her perspective and underscoring the significance of the collaboration.
