The Frazzled Cook Grand Opening at New QC Location
Last week, I was invited to The Frazzled Cook’s Grand Opening at their new location at 78 Scout Gandia St. near Tomas Morato. I used Waze to navigate, but Waze’s location was incorrect – The Frazzled Cook is actually on the other side (I was on the correct street, at least), just look for #78. The…

The Round Table Review – Affordable Buffet in Kapitolyo
It was a #Saturdate but we decided to skip watching the universally maligned Fantastic Four movie.

Last night, I was invited to try C’Italian Dining in Salcedo Village, Makati.

Cowrie Grill Review – Good Food, Fun Tableside Service
What do you think of when you hear the name Cowrie Grill? The name is familiar to me because of my previous visits to The Manila Hotel years ago, but my mind draws a blank when hearing the name, and sometimes I think of cows and cowboys (because I associate it with steak). Cowrie is…

They told me that it served amazing, real wagyu at prices significantly less than you would spend elsewhere. He told me that it wasn’t so much a restaurant as a meat shop. They sell wagyu and just…
