Back in August, when I heard that Backyard Burgers, my favorite burger joint from Davao was going to CDO to host a “Patilaw” event… I flipped!
Patilaw means “to taste” or “to sample” in our dialect.
Being the thick-faced self that I am online, I had to drop Backyard Burgers a message on Facebook…
I was very flattered and honored to exchange messages with one of the owners because I never thought I’d get any response at all! Let alone a FREE burger!
My boyfriend was very supportive about the whole going-to-CDO-for-a free-BB-burger experience that he drove us all the way there…
Just kidding. We don’t have a car… At least not yet. 😉
Backyard Burgers was not a struggle to find. They were stationed just right in front of Centrio which, I must say, was a very strategic location. It’s not exactly someone’s backyard but the ambience was definitely reminiscent of their rustic setup back in Davao.
As big clouds of billowing white smoke were floating in the air, I can smell the delicious aroma of grilled meat wafting my way from where I was standing.
It was really nice to see how our burgers were done right in front of us.
The scent was inebriating I kid you not.
Some final touches at the burger assembly line station…
And ta-da! Look at those bad boys! It was exactly how I remembered their burgers to be… Massive, fresh and sinfully delicious!
I’m here with one of the owners, Rica (right) and her friend (middle). It was really a pleasure to meet both of them. And yes, my hair looked like a rainbow puked on my head. Haha!
Rica and Juan (her husband) were so kind to also give my boyfriend and I cute keychains for attending their Patilaw event. Thank you thank you thank you! 🙂
Once again, they have proven to me that their burgers really are the best! Check out their page here for more details about Backyard Burgers.
