  • Grind Bistro in BGC: Not your usual grind
  • Other than falling in love with each other, Steven and Cristina Carl also fell in love with American Cuisine when they were still working abroad (Steven worked for 35 years from a dishwasher to the executive chef of one of the many branches of Hyatt Hotel while Cristina was in the accounting department).

    They later decided to bring their experiences and passion for food here in the Philippines by opening The Grind Bistro.

    Grind Burger (Php 395)

    Indulge Burger (Php 495)

    Located in Netpark, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig; The Grind Bistro stands out among other restaurants nearby. As some would say, the restaurant has a “rustic charm,” with seats that remind you of home for its comfiness and decors that can only be described as classy American. Headed by Chef Dale Sy, Grind Bistro’s executive chef, he makes sure that all burgers are made fresh and ground daily.

    Double Double Burger. Double the beef patty, double the trouble (Php 550)

    Through Steven and Dale’s wit, they’ve created their recipes that have defined their menu. The Grind Bistro stays true to their tagline “not your usual grind”, as they also serve other dishes aside from burgers. If you’re on the luxury side when it comes to food, they have a chef’s table upstairs which can accommodate customers for a five-course meal.

    The burgers are served on a wooden platter along with their house fries and pickles, customers can also customize their burgers as they wish. The Grind Bistro uses all U.S chuck and short rib, a perfect combination of meat and fat for their burger patties. They also cook their burgers standard medium.

    During the morning they make their own pastries, bread, and meat, which are locally produced and used for their burgers. If you’re looking for a straightforward food, especially good tasting burgers,  The Grind Bistro is the place to go.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
