- Molly breaks out her Julia Child routine, just as she did in "New Nivagi." Vera joins her.

- Grandma's Recipe: Linda's lumpia is a modified version of her mother's, so Molly and Vera consult Lola Miranda on how to make it and the dipping sauce.
- Gratuitous Foreign Language: Lola Miranda peppers her speech with Kapampangan words.
- Portmanteau: "Filibascan" is a portmanteau of "Filipino" and "Athabascan" sometimes used in Alaska to describe people of those heritages. So Molly and Vera adopt the name "Filibascan Chefs" while puzzling out their Alaskan lumpia.
