No more ‘food
fights’ at Uncle John’s |
|
By Perry Gil S. Mallari
WHEN a family sets off to choose
where to eat on any given Sunday, the simple exercise can easily
turn into a tug of war. Mom and dad want Chinese; the teens crave
for pizza; and the little kids whine for burgers and fries. In the
past, there were only two solutions to the squabble, i.e. the family
splits up for the meal and meets later, or simply give way to
someone else’s appetite. Now, there’s a third option, and it’s
called Uncle John’s.
Located on the third level of
Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas Center, Uncle John’s is a new quick
service restaurant that aims to hit the spot of everyone’s
cravings, all under one roof. Johnson Robert Go, the restaurant’s
business unit head, describes Uncle John’s menu as “diverse.”
It is made up of Eastern and Western flavors, after a market
research showed that Chinese, American and Italian cuisines are the
most popular food choices among Filipinos.
