The New Buddies

CEBU, Philippines - As it is no secret that Cebu's food industry has recently witnessed a surge of new dining destinations and venues, it has to be said that not all of these have made their respective marks in the dining ideals of Cebuanos, with some ending up as cautionary tales that tell of the dangers in only adhering to what is generic.

Buddies, as one of the newest dining venues to open in Cebu this year, is certainly not liable to slip into the pitfalls where others have, given how it has effectively drawn slews of Cebuanos its way, matched with the opening celebrations of its 2nd branch in the city last November 24.

Located in the Green Orkid Commercial Complex in the Capitol Area, the new Buddies stands as a testament to the venue's superstar-in-the-making status, bringing all the specials and highlights which had effectively put the first Buddies on the map.

From featuring the now-famous Buddies Ultimate Burger Challenge, to highlighting its equally famous take on Silog dishes, Taco variations, and Burrito specials, the new Buddies also heralds new menu additions, with the new Buddies Pork Barbecue Sandwich and new Buddies Burrito Bowl specials leading the list.

Buddies' Sizzling Burger Steak, Steak Burrito and Steak Taco are also specials offered in the new Buddies, as it is driven in maintaining Buddies' "diner with a Filipino twist" operational premise.

Mirroring the quality of service found in the first Buddies, the new Buddies also bears the cool relaxed vibe of Buddies in Piazza Elisea in Talamban, making it the prefect place where friends and family can celebrate good food with good company.

Established by buddies Nino Bacson, John Paul Chiongbian and Blake Go, Buddies has done well in its less-than-a-year-old operations, earning the nods of Cebu's most discerning palettes, as well as gaining traction for being a no frills, relaxed venue where friends and family can simply be.

As it is no secret that Cebu's food industry has recently witnessed a surge of new dining destinations and venues, Buddies has effectively stood out from the rest, as status which has been propelled by Buddies' take on what the ideals of good food should be.

Buddies is located in the Green Orkid Commercial Complex in the Capitol Area and in Piazza Elesia, cor Cabancalan (in front of Silver Hills Subdivision) in Talamban. For more details, visit Buddies' official Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/BuddiesBurgers. (FREEMAN)
