My aunt (a cousin of my Pop) is one great food-finder! Because her family loves to eat in the greatest places on earth, she practically knows all the best restos in the world!
Theo and I frequent Metro Manila but we never have tried this restaurant that my aunt described to have the Best Angus Burger in Town - Charlie's Grind and Grill. At that time, we didn't know where exactly it was located in Pasig City and so, just like what we usually do, we walked and walked and walked. And there it was! Just like how my aunt described it - "You won't see it immediately because it's just like a garage. There's a carwash station there." While reading the sign and the tagline "Handcrafted Burgers", I thought that it was a very unique way of describing burgers. Then I thought, it might be just like a normal burger joint with fancy names and mediocre-tasting grub. Well... that WAS what I thought...
Once there, I pretended to survey the overhead menu though I already knew in my heart what I wanted. Theo and I ordered the Black Angus Burger with French Fries. While eating, we looked around to observe. The place is full of customers even if it was already a little late - it was around 11PM!

We saw how people come and go. We saw how people enjoyed their food with all those FREE sauces and condiments which you can just get from their cooler and enjoy. You just have to be patient because even with the number of sauces they have, and with all the customers they have at a given time, you'd probably end up waiting for your turn to indulge in their yummy sauces! The have great burger sauces: Horsey Wasabi, American, Russion, and Aioli.

Finally, our order was served. We were in awe to even start eating. Portion-wise, the burger was HUGE! The burger was perfectly done and is sinfully succulent that extra sauce was not necessary! Diet?? Well, anyone would be a fool not to break their diet upon taking a bite of this burger! Aside from the burgers we used to eat at Camp John Hay's 19th Tee years ago, nothing really comes close to the taste of this delicious burger! It took us a while to chomp on our food because of its size. Even Theo who had a great appetite had a difficulty consuming his burger. However, he was already planning what to get the next time we visit Charlie's again. He wanted to get the Buffalo Wings which we actually ordered on the next visit (of course with my favorite, the Black Angus Burger)!
