CEBU, Philippines - In its simplicity, the burger remains to be a popular attraction in the fairgrounds of culinary destinations, simple in its concept – with slices of bread embracing lean meaty patties – yet dignified in its potential for innovation.
When done right, a burger proudly stands apart from the rest, a solid example of perfection which puts degrees of shame onto more complex specials, specialties and signature dishes.
When done right, a burger could only have been made by one who knows what a real burger should be.

Ascribed by its proponents as a diner with a Filipino twist, Buddies has done well in its less-than-six-month-old operations, gaining traction for featuring the best burger Cebuanos can find within the province's borders.
Established by buddies Nino Bascon, John Paul Chiongbian and Blake Go, Buddies is essentially a place where friends and family can get together and feast on a diverse range of specials, with Buddies' take on burgers being one of the venue's stellar highlights.
Also showcasing taco variations, Buddies also features its take on burrito specials, sizzling rice meals and silog-dishes, with its steak burrito and steak taco gaining their own respective awards and merits as must-try Buddies offerings.
Its sizzling burger steak is also one unique Buddies offering that is worthy of mention, one which would surely bring new dimensions in preconceptions over what to expect from burger steak meals.
In terms of price, Buddies' can be described as realistic, allowing Cebuanos the chance to partake in a unique feast without necessarily going broke.
