With the 2023 staging of @madridfusion, let’s revisit some key learnings from the chefs we had the chance to watch and interview during our coverage of its 17th edition.

Waiters are expected to smile through harsh tirade

Waiters are expected to smile through harsh tirades and swallow snarky comebacks. The local restaurant industry prides itself on patient waitstaff that are famously tolerant of a demanding dining market. It is a culture that takes hospitality seriously, and the expectations are oftentimes irrationally high.

Yet sometimes the dining public forgets that they are people, too.

As one seasoned restaurant manager said in a past story that looked into the reality of Manila’s dining market: "We're just hoping for guests to be reasonable. Believe us when we say that gusto namin kayo pagsilbihan."

Revisit the story via the link in bio.

Salt is the quiet hero of every kitchen, enhancing

Salt is the quiet hero of every kitchen, enhancing flavors and bringing out the depth and nuances of dishes. A pinch, a teaspoon’s worth—it is added without much thought about where it’s from or if there’s more to it than its culinary contribution.

“For those who love it, buro adds umami and tang

“For those who love it, buro adds umami and tang to a dish. As a side dish, it provides a strong counterpoint that refreshes the tongue while enjoying fried food and boiled vegetables. For those who aren’t as enchanted, the first whiff sends them far, far away,” writes @naynakat_.

But for something made out of ordinary ingredients, buro is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

We all know the value and pleasure of taking one’s time and @teahouse.sambali in Zambales genuinely takes this strategy to heart.

“I want people to feel relaxed, comfortable, and cozy when they come here. I want them to have a sense of calmness in this chaotic world,” says owner Coral Liggayu.

Like many, Liggayu started baking during the pandemic but it was her calamansi pie that caught the attention of the community and gave her the idea that this can actually be the start of a small business.

And in their world of slow coffee and beach life, customers (and our writer/photographer @campfiremedia) rediscover why everything in life (and in entrepreneurship) doesn’t always need to be rushed.

It always starts with an idea. Something so brilli

It always starts with an idea. Something so brilliant and unique that you feel success is imminent. The idea is pitched to a group of people whom you feel would willingly back you—financially or otherwise—on this venture. Ideally, you all get along and together enjoy the rewards of a thriving establishment. However, as many would attest, not all business partnerships bear fruit and have that fairytale ending.

While no one never really knows how things will turn out in business, a good start never hurt anyone. Finding the right partners in a restaurant venture makes navigating the dynamic industry a little more manageable.
