Bonding Moments at Angel’s Burger

We see it at many locations where numerous passers-by come and go and where buzzing vehicles speed along. In plazas and in terminals, its kiosks stand out because its meaty burger is for the “masa” – cheap and you can already munch two burgers for only 25 pesos.

I’m talking about Angel’s Burger. It’s apparently one of the successful burger joints in the Philippines today. Every time I pass by its store, it is always jam-packed with customers from all walks of life. I notice how the lone staff tries to  simultaneously cook the numerous delicious patties and heat the bread, her arms gesticulating quickly to cater her customers who seem to add up as the clock ticks.

I once saw a diabetic man with an amputated left  leg buy a burger in one of the branches. As he hungrily chewed and masticated, it seemed that his pain and struggles vanished as he delightfully talked to the cook during his eating intervals. It was as though the cook already knew his story. I guess he comes back to the joint not just for filling his tummy but to also pour out to somebody what he might going through.

It’s funny how you can hear random stories of people while sitting on their circular chairs. In just minutes, conversation unfolds. This one guy in his 50’s  talked about his businesses , his carinderia and his barbershop, and how he implements strategies to make them boom as he snacked on his burger. He was telling this to the staff and the other people who were also busy eating their share of the yummy burger.

Angel’s burger is a sure-fire hit to pinoys because its food has a budget-friendly price yet boasts of delicious taste. Customers buy orders for take out to bring as pasalubong in their homes.  Indeed, bonding between families and friends is created  while feasting on their affordable and delectable snacks, making Angel’s Burger unique.
