MANILA, Philippines - Buffalo Wild Wings is slated to open its first-ever store in the Philippines at Capitol Commons in Pasig City in December. In a country that has some of the most passionate sports fans and a booming restaurant scene, this game-changing development in casual dining has foodies and sports fans all fired up for reasons that go beyond ephemeral food trends.
Founded over 30 years ago in Ohio by two Buffalo wing-loving pals, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery, the phenomenal American food chain has elevated commonplace dining to a whole new level by leveraging on a universal passion to create the ultimate sports-viewing experience: Wings. Beer. Sports.
With its award-winning Buffalo wings handspun in signature sauces and seasonings, an extensive selection of draft, imported and premium beers, and state-of-the-art wall-to-wall HD flat-screen TVs that capture the energy of a sports stadium, Buffalo Wild Wings has transformed itself from the neighborhood wing joint it once was to one of the coolest sports bars where customers are always certain to get good seats to watch games, grab a cold beer and share its made-to-order menu items — a concept Filipinos will instantly warm up to.
“We are very excited to be bringing the Buffalo Wild Wings experience to Manila and we look forward to becoming a part of this dynamic community,” said international VP for Buffalo Wild Wings Tim Murphy.
It’s impossible to mention Buffalo Wild Wings without going wild over its New York-style chicken wings which, unsurprisingly, have won countless recognitions and awards through the years.
Handspun in 18 varieties of signature sauces and seasonings with sensational flavors ranging from Sweet BBQ to Blazin’, this popular bar grub is without question the star of the menu. It also includes equally mouthwatering American comfort food such as ribs, burgers, sandwiches and salads — that means there’s something for everyone.
From time to time, the restaurant introduces updates to its boldly flavored menu with a variety of limited-time special offerings as well as promotions timed around major sporting events, another reason “to get together with your friends, watch sports, drink beer and eat wings.”
Buffalo Wild Wings’ Philippine foray is made possible by The Bistro Group of Restaurants, one of the country’s biggest restaurant operators and a pioneer in the casual dining segment.
“The forthcoming launch of Buffalo Wild Wings in the country is something that we look forward to with great enthusiasm. This phenomenal and widely popular brand shares The Bistro Group’s philosophy of connecting people through good food in a fun and engaging environment. Given the Filipinos’ love for sports, we expect big crowds and lots of excitement, especially during major sporting events. Buffalo Wild Wings offers fans the best place to watch a big game,” said Jean Paul Manuud, Bistro Group of Restaurants’ president and COO.
