    don't know about mafioso but we agree gabbys (on rovera? near the airport) is handling this well. so is latinos, spice in valencia, JP's, senioritas at the airport, why not and casablanca. gabby near ace hospital just re opened as well. you also have members here with food service in valencia joy's delicacies and zacks on the way to there.

    Hi Mike,
    I would highly recommend you taking Cel and Matty to the Dauin dive cafe on a Tuesday for their barbecue ribs. They are the best I have tasted and you can eat as much as you want.

    When I moved here almost 3 years ago from Cebu City with my then g/f... I read about how good Lord Bryon's Ribs were when they were located on the south road not far past Robinsons Mall. So eventually I took her there only to find it had closed....she was not impressed!

    So a new relationship and nearly 2 years later I took Cel my g/f to Lord Bryon's Ribs at their new location in Hibbard Avenue as I still had tried their ribs yet. It was the first meal out together in 4 months (we had a baby sitter for Cel's son Matty) so very special.... got to their resturant ok or we thought it was Lord Byron's.... but it had the name Chicos displayed.

    So after checking up and down the road abit I eventually asked in "Chicos" where Lord Byrons Ribs was? "Closed Sir it is now Chicos"

    So another place bites the dust and I still haven't tried their ribs! Hope they reopen after Covid19 is over....if it ever ends... groan.

    We didn't fancy Chichos menu although I'm sure it will please many. So we ended up in Hayahay and had a smashing seafood lunch so the day was saved.

    Well went into the new location of JLH Butchers in the old Don Atilano restaurant. Place is nice and they have set up tables for orders of food (did not look at a menu). Couple of expats sitting there having a beverage of choice. You can move around freely. A place worth visiting.

    Any foreigner depending solely on income from a restobar is sure to struggle even in good times. If they could barely keep the lights on before all this nonsense there is little chance of their business surviving after all is said and done. I suspect there will be lots of properties, motorcycles and personal property coming up for sale on the cheap very soon if it hasn't already.

    Ah, but this revolution thing opens a whole new can of worms as we found out some short years after when Napoleon came along and made bloody war in our and many other lands and installed his brother as King of the Netherlands for a few years. We even needed the assistance of them bloody Brits to get rid of them frenchies again.

    I'm not sure what the reference to Canada was but here is the reported history......

    The History of Pineapple

    Its origin
    Historians believe that the pineapple originated in Brazil in South America. It was imported to Europe later. It is also believed that Christopher Columbus and his crew members were probably the first few people from the European continent to have tasted the fruit.

    They imported the fruit and cultivated it in hot houses. Members of European royal families soon developed a liking for it. It gradually became available to the rich, the noble and the elite.

    James Dole did a lot to popularize the fruit and make it affordable with his pineapple
    plantations in Hawaii, his goal was to have the convenient canned pineapple in every
    grocery store in the country.

    KRI has moved in with Iris' & Ritchie's third member of the triumvirate, Esturya, where you saw the new sign, near Flamin Grill and Tres Bistro. Haven't yet checked out a "combined menu." Sad they lost Marco, the genius of Esturya. Whoever is doing the pizza now at least watched Marco carefully.

    I remember our first Boscaiola pizza, a year or more ago, we asked if we could add bell peppers or something. Big mistake, HUGE, the word from the kitchen was, in a nice way, "the pizza is perfect the way it is," or similar. And, wow, it was, still is. <grin>
