     If the cooking at Phil-Am Kusina is sometimes distracted, that may be because Mr. Imperial is busy these days; he also manages his parents’ grocery store, and this year started a food truck called Sisig City, currently stationed in Gowanus, Brooklyn, and offering the likes of lechon sliders and longanisa sausage “mini dogs,” for delivery only.
