As I celebrate another year of life, I am reminded of how much I have to be grateful for 🙏 This year, I am continuing a tradition that is close to my heart—visiting the House of Hope 💚

These children, who are fighting battles bigger than most of us can imagine, are living miracles. Their resilience inspires me every day, and I feel blessed to share what I can to make them smile, even just for a moment.

To everyone who has been a part of my journey…

To my incredible team at The Fat Cow, Ta-Cow, and Asian Cow... thank you for your hard work, passion, and unwavering support. You make our restaurants more than just places to eat. You make them places of love and community.

To my friends and family… your encouragement and love fuel me to keep going, no matter the challenges.

And most importantly, to the Almighty God… thank You for another year of opportunities, lessons, and blessings. I pray for the strength to grow as a better person, a better chef, and a better servant to those in need.

This December, I encourage everyone to give back. Whether big or small, your acts of kindness can create ripples of hope. Let's make this season brighter for those who need it most. 🎄

Here’s to another year of creating, sharing, and giving. Cheers to life and to all of you who make it beautiful!

Kakita namo’g cooking shows sa Netflix? Grabe ka intense ug high pressure noh?

I’m telling you. Dili sila layo sa tinuod. When you’re working in the food industry, everyone is stressed out. I’m not an exception. 😅

Eight years, three restaurants, and one pandemic later… I’m surprised nga naa pa ko diri still fighting the good fight 💪 Ngano?

I used to believe nga if you love your work, you’ll never work a day in your life. But I was wrong…

Kasagaran, passion doesn’t take you far. Maayo ra na sa sugod. Even if I genuinely enjoy my work, naa ju’y mga adlaw nga ma-wala ko sa akong momentum.

Over the years, I’ve learned to accept this reality.

Every job kay naa’y ups and down. Package deal na sila. You wish to be a successful food business owner? Long hours, stressful kitchens, and customer complaints are part of the plan.

Ikaw? What do you love doing? And what struggles are you willing to put up with?

Myth: The name “The Fat Cow” did not come from Patrick Co…

It’s literally just a random name I made up kay atat kaayo ko to start owning my restaurant right after graduating culinary school 😅

I was dead set on making it happen even when I had zero clue unsa akoa specialty o unsa ako ipang-serve. That was how stubborn I was. Pero that’s the beauty of being a beginner, noh? You’re naive and fearless.

Looking back, it’s wild to think that if I hadn’t taken that one “crazy” first step, The Fat Cow, Asian Cow, and Ta-Cow might not even exist.

That one “why not?” moment can end up shaping everything that follows.

“MaTaCow” since birth 😂

Mao nang gets kaayo nako ngano maka-frustrate muadto sa imong favorite spot, unya pahulaton pa ka’g 10… 20… 30 minutes 😬

This is the reason why I always advise my guests that if you can plan ahead and reserve, do it.

It’s not just about skipping the wait. It’s also about having a smooth experience the moment you arrive sa resto. Kanang pag-abot pa lang nimo, naa na’y gahulat nga table ug staff para atimanun ka.

I want you to have that hassle-free experience with either Ta-Cow, The Fat Cow, or Asian Cow.

To be clear, di ko against walk-ins ha. I also recommend spontaneity! I do that especially if I’m on a work trip and doing my usual flavor adventures.

Walk-in man o thru reservation, I love cooking for you either way. But to guarantee that you get to experience the best of what we offer without any delay, I highly suggest you give us a heads up 😉



PS. Naa ra among reservations sa TheFatCowGroup.com :D See you soon?

Three-time NEW restaurant owner here 😃 Does it get better over time?

Somewhat, yes. Somewhat, no. With each launch I’m more equipped with knowledge, pero every time naa puy new challenges I have to overcome. Not to mention, the excitement and the anxiety I feel every launch never gets old.

So, coming from me—if you’re planning to start your new food business soon—I say to let go of perfection and embrace action 🔥

Kung wala kaayo kay customer on your first day, that’s fine! Ayaw pa’g self-pity. Find out why and then fix from there.

If you realized your location was off, that’s fine… Advertise. A. LOT.

Venturing into a new business is not about nailing it the first time. It’s about having your notes ready for every “mistake” and “failure” that come your way.

After almost a decade in the business, I realize my biggest wins happen because I failed, learned, and vowed to fix those mistakes. Be ready for the rollercoaster of becoming an entrepreneur. If you have the right mindset, the ups and downs will all be worth it 💪

And if you’re a new entrepreneur, make yourself known sa comments! I’m rooting for you!

The people you hire is as important as the food you serve—that is, if you want glowing five star reviews for your restaurant.

Before opening day, focus on hiring a capable team. Your team doesn’t have to be as big as an established resto. Make sure lang na these areas are covered.

#1 Front of the house.

Maybe start with one cashier and a few servers. It’s important you hire people who enjoy interacting with others. Someone who sees what the customers needs before they even ask.

#2 Back of the house.

These guys are essential for food preparation, cleanliness, and a smooth service. They’re washers, sous chef, line cooks, prep cooks. You want someone quick on their feet. Someone resilient ug maayo mu-handle ug pressure. Very fast-paced ni diri nga area kay you want your customers’ food to come out on time.

#3 Third party service providers — electricians, plumbers, pest controllers

New business owners don’t immediately think of hiring these guys, pero they’re very important for one thing—SAFETY for everyone. Mao ni sila ang ga-make sure your facilities are operating safely, efficiently, ug up to code.

#4 Lawyer, social media marketing team, bookkeepers, and accountant

As a business owner, these guys are essential because they help your business prepare for growth. There are no legal and financial issues stopping you. And a great marketing team will also ensure you keep getting new customers and, as a result, grow your sales.

Maka-stress mag huna-huna noh? Ana ka-kuti ang pag-own ug sarili nimong business. Kung naa man mo’y pangutana, don’t hesitate to comment!
