Regina Kovarik, Executive Chef, Lexington CC
Regina Kovarik, Executive Chef of Lexington Country Club, has been making Lumpia Shanghai for, essentially, her entire life.
“I have been taught to make this dish since I was six years old,” she says, “I joke all the time that I knew how to roll lumpia before I knew how to spell my name—and it’s true!”
The dish, a popular Filipino appetizer, was passed on by Kovarik’s mother.
“Learning this dish at such a young age, and perfecting it over the years, has taught me the importance of discipline and consistency while keeping in touch with my heritage,” she says.
