The Comeback Kids

Back in the 90s, I had 2 go-to places when I craved for good, comfort food.

One was Little Caesar's Pizza.

The other was Popeye's Chicken.

Little Caesar's was known for it's "Pizza, Pizza" promise, which was 2 pizzas for the price of one. That was always a hit during our get togethers and whenever we worked overtime. And aside from their yummy pizza, they had awesome garlic sticks.

Popeye's, on the other hand, was a former client. And they had really good fried chicken and biscuits. There were very few fast food joints that sold biscuits, so it was very novel and delicious!

Sometime in the mid-2000s, these 2 restaurants disappeared.

But guess what, they're both making a comeback!

Little Caesar's opened its first store in Manila. And Popeye's is getting ready for its return!

Happy (tummy) days are here again!

Take me down like I'm a...

Domino's.

That's a pizza brand I haven't had in a while. In Manila, at least.

Mark and I order Domino's in Tokyo. But here in Manila, not so much.

But during yesterday's shoot, we found ourselves at Domino's to buy pizza for the client and crew. I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. They've redone their image and renovated their stores! And it's really, really nice.

Their new stores have that 50s Americana vibe to them, which is great.

The pizza isn't bad, too. I tried the potato pizza which was surprisingly good! (And not surprisingly carbo-loaded.)

Okay, I'm officially giving Domino's a second look now.

If I can make it there...

Why do I always forget that there's an S&R Pizza place in Cubao? Their pizzas are so awesome, I should go here more often!
