Every now and then blogging does have its perks. The other day a friend of mine invited me to be the official taste tester for his upcoming project. I took up the burden (yes the burden!) of having to go through the burgers, fries, buffalo wings, and a beers for his up-coming resto. Since I can’t really name who my friend is, where his resto will open up, when, what the concept is, and the different burgers and the toppings, I’ll just let the photos speak for itself.
The thing is, I came into this tasting with pre-conceived notions. (Yep just like we discussed in Philo Class) I knew what I wanted to taste, what I didn’t want to taste. Another positive side again is learning and relearning stuff I knew from way back. Ever hear about Brunoise? I learned how to do it! (despite almost chopping a finger off! My blade work needs polishing!) Without further ado, I give you, THE SECRET TASTE TEST.

I call it a secret taste test because the recipes for this one are all secret and will be essential to the success of an up and coming resto. Don’t worry I’ll be blogging where and when the resto opens. I might even give away some GCs. (working on it!) But the best part for me was the Buffalo Wings. They were exactly what I wanted in terms of what I expect from Buffalo Wings. The Taste, the texture, the exact amount of spicyness, the explosion on your tongue when you first make contact, the lingering hotness in your mouth, and the line it draws in your throat when you swallow. They all burn and yet some how very very tasty. It was soo good, I had to take more than 1 picture!

We made the dip. The dip we made was Bleu Cheese. Again we used and did something different to the sauce to perfectly compliment the taste. And it worked beautifully. It was like a little symphony of taste and hotness in my mouth. I was literally hearing angels with bells and trumpets singing “allelujah” with every bite. (Ok so I’m exaggerating! But they were damn good!)

It was a great afternoon. Filled with cooking, learning, shooting, and even styling. I wish I could spend more afternoons like these. Maybe I should open up sign-ups for some readers to come over and eat.

Nope. REAL HOT WINGS. But I do have a BBQ flavor for those who do not like spicy or cannot handle the heat. =)

ZIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so yummeh!!!!
Everything looks so good.
cant wait to taste it.
Behind the blur i see: Oettinger, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Guinness, and Sam Adams.
Premium Beers with those burgers/hot wings…LIKE. Can’t wait!
p.s.
lalaban sa Charlie’s? =p
Very good eye dani! haha…Hmm… patterned siya LIKE Charlies. The beers I think people will go for. The wings ARE LIKE Charlie’s na tlga.
Wow! Love the photos and the lighting! Can’t really do much here since it wouldn’t be in Cebu
I easily distinguished the bottles kasi I’ve had them na before. The Rogue beer, I tried sa Charlie’s. Pero walang Sam Adams dun, madami lang Ballast Point, Flying Dogg, and Coronas. I hope this secret resto will serve Grolsch! <3 And I hope may parking space and mas malaki yung dining area…unlike Charlie's! hahaha. can't wait for this place to open, i'm a sucker for beer and burjers!!!!
can’t wait to have a mouthful of the burgers and buffalo wigns….sa picture pa lang panalo na…
They all look yummy! I am just wondering if they are also affordable. Are the prices close to TGIF’s or much lower? I really hope you can give away some GC’s when the resto finally opens.
Right Now the price range is from Php 150 – Php 190. So THEY REALLY ARE VERY affordable.
The wings looked like the ones you treated me to. You told me you cooked it for us!
yup i did. my friend and I made these. the ones i brought to work were the ones I made
Wow! Sarap naman! I’m excited to know about this resto na.
Would love to try their buffalo wings since my partner and I are now into spicy food. Saka I love, love, love burgers!
