FILIPINOS FIRST TIME AT SONIC DRIVE IN!

During my trip to Los Angeles last year, my Niece Cara and I made a food run to the nearest Sonic Drive in so we could experience a good old fashioned American Drive In.

The nearest branch to where we were staying was at Mission Viejo, and we decided to shoot a short video while we were there, as we tried our respective burgers.

Can't wait to go back!

SHAKE SHACK OPENS IN THE PHILIPPINES

After a highly anticipated wait, Shake Shack is finally scheduled to open its doors to the Philippine public on May 10, 2019! I was very fortunate to be invited to a closed door sneak peek of what Shake Shack Philippines has to offer, and truthfully, I was even more impressed with it than I was when I visited it in Hong Kong last December! The Shack Burger was excellent, and the 'Shroom Burger was a revelation! Also nice to catch up with my friends, Chuckie Dreyfus and his lovely wife Yen, and I got to see the gorgeous Joyce Pring again!

RAGING BULL BURGERS AT SHANGRI-LA THE FORT

           My search for the best Burger in the country, so I decided to start with the popular Raging Bull Burgers, located at Shangri-la The Fort in Bonifacio Global City!

I tried every burger on their menu, including their vegetarian one! See what I do for you guys? hehe.. Have you tried Raging Bull Burgers? What did you think?

EXPLORING THE GRID FOOD MARKET AT ROCKWELL POWER PLANT!

There are so many food purveyors at The Grid Food Market at Rockwell Power Plant, so I decided to try three first, lest I blow myself up. 

The first stalls I tried was were Chef Josh Boutwood's Burgers and Bits, Flower Boy and Tsuke-Men!

MAIN STREET'S AWESOME NEW MENU

          To me, Main Street Restaurant in Kapitoly has always been one of those restaurants to me that I go to when I'm not in the mood to explore new places. Every time I visit, I know i'm in for an amazing meal. I've always felt that the style Main Street's Head Chef Adam Tan really appeals to my personal palate, making me excited when I find out he has whipped up something new. 

       Chef Adam recently unveiled new items to Main Street's Menu, so I couldn't wait to troop to Kapitolyo to give it a try! 

BOUTIQUE BURGER KITCHEN: A BURGER HAVEN AT THE FORT STRIP

       Chef Carlo Miguel shook the Burger game to it's core when he opened his brainchild, Boutique Burger Kitchen early last year. Being the Burger aficionado that I pride myself in being, I immediately added it to my list of burgers to try. 

       And I was happy to discover an array of burgers so amazing, it easily vaulted itself to the elite status of burgers in my book. 

POUND BY TODD ENGLISH: MEGA FASHION HALL

         Since opening his Food Hall at SM AURA in 2014, the Todd English brand has continued to spread around Metro Manila. Given that the Burgers of Todd English Food Hall was the breakout items on their menu, it made sense that they would spin off "Pound By Todd English", which specializes in Burgers done by the celebrity chef himself.  

        Pound first opened at Bonifacio High Street, and was a major hit. Since then, they've opened two more branches, One in SM Mega Fashion Hall, and another in Robinson's Place Manila. Since Mega Mall is just a 10 minute walk from my office (Some do it in five.. I have short legs), I was able to drop by with the KTG to get a taste of these world class, and truly amazing burgers. 

HOLIDAY INN MAKATI: BURGER BAR WEEKENDS AT FLAVORS!

      Its no secret that I am a burger fanatic. I love experimenting with different toppings, trying to find the combination that best suits my palate. 

      What if I told you there was a place where you could enjoy an unlimited amount of burgers that you customized to your own heart's desire? And not only that, you get a full on buffet that includes a wide array of American Classic Dishes such as BBQ Ribs, Ribeye Roast, and a vast selection of desserts to choose from?

       Yes my friend, a place on Earth does exist.. And The Burger Bar weekends happens every weekend of July at Flavors, Holiday Inn Makati. 

BEEFY'S NEW YORK GRILL: A BITE OF THE BIG APPLE AT LAGUNA!

   I rarely find myself down South, which I know is sad because there are tons of places to discover from BF Homes, all the way down to Tagaytay.. Further even! However a restaurant in Laguna opened late last year, which piqued my curiousity. A quick glance at Beefy's New York Grill Facebook page showed insane looking burgers and dawgs, that was more than enough to get my taste buds excited!

    So one fine Sunday, some of my foodie friends and I hopped on to Food in the Bag's car and made our (surprisingly) smooth trek to Solenad 3 in Nuvali, Laguna!  

THE TOKYO TOKYO WAGYU BURGER REVOLUTION IS ON!

Tokyo Tokyo is once again leading the East meets West movement , as the country’s number one Japanese Fast Food chain unveiled to it’s loyal customers its Wagyu Burger Revolution!

 In case you weren’t aware, I am a huge fan of Burgers. I’m always on the look out for a great burger, and when I heard that Tokyo Tokyo was embarking on a Wagyu Burger campaign, I was absolutely ecstatic. Tokyo Tokyo’s kitchen has proven time and time again to be very innovative without losing the sense of the classic dishes, and that’s exactly what it did with their new line of Burgers!

CHILI'S: CRAFT BURGERS, RIBS AND STEAKS, OH MY!

    Note: I just wanted to let you all know that my 8 year old DSLR seems to have finally decided to call it quits on me, hence the difference in the quality of the photos. I plan to try (keyword: TRY) to have it fixed soon, but if the cost isn't far from a brand new one.. Well.. I might end up having to buy a new one.

 *Cries in the Corner*

     Want a great meal with friends where you're a assured of amazing food and superb service? Admit it, one of the first names that pops into your head is Chili's, right? You're not alone in that thought, my friend. Chili's has long been known as one of the most dependable restaurants in the world. 

   Despite the Chili's name being synonymous with food excellence, this doesn't stop the popular international restaurant chain from innovating their menu from time to time, incorporating changes and additions to their menu that'll keep their customers tantalized. 

   Chili's Philippines recently introduced new items n their menu

MURRAY AND D'VINE REVISTED

      Murray and D'Vine was one of the restaurants that I had targeted to visit during the early days of my blogging. I distinctly remember taking advantage of a promo from a group buying site, just so Rina and I could try it ("El Cheapskate".. That is I)! 

     Years later, I went back with my friends from KTG to see what was new with them, now that they were under the Bistro Group Banner. And we discovered that they maintained the old favorites, but added a bit of new stuff as well!

              

THE SECOND BITE: THE RISE OF ZARK'S BURGERS

           For the second episode of the Pickiest Eater Bites, I revisit a favorite of many of my readers.. Zark's Burgers! Since I visited their first branch in 2011, Zark's Burgers has exploded into a Powerhouse Burger chain that can give the big name burger joints a run for their money!

     From a small hole in the wall in Taft Avenue, Zark's Burgers now plans to have more than 20 outlets around the country by the end of 2016! 

    Here's a quick round up of some of the most insane burgers on their menu, as well as a chance to finally meet the man behind the madness.. Zark himself!

   And by the way, yes, that is a burger wrapped in bacon and deep fried to perfection that i'm holding in the photo above. 

GO BIG OR GO HOME: SIZE MATTERS KAPITOLYO!

      Flashback to 2011: Rina and I heard about a small place in Quezon City that served up massive burgers, including one made with breakfast sausage patties. That was pretty much all I needed to hear to schedule a visit, but what made it more serendipitous, was that I immediately found a great deal on Groupon for it!  

      Cut to Present day: The QC branch is no longer there, but thankfully, there's one just a few minutes a way from my house. I actually found out about this place late in 2014, during my company's Christmas Party, which was held at the same building where Size Matters is located at. Although it was a party with food all around, I abstained from eating a single bite, because afterwards, me and a couple of office mates decided to head down here for a late night bite. 

    After all these years, Size Matters proved that when it comes to burgers.. Well.. You know what's next!
