Manila, September 18, 2021 – Studies have shown the great impact of COVID-19 on comfort food consumption in the Philippines. As we all deal with the pandemic in our own way, sometimes, all we want is the taste of something familiar or something that reminds us of better times.

This phenomenon has led us all to continually search for better-than-fast-food offerings with homegrown and trusted dine-in restaurants responding by offering better and tastier alternatives for takeaway or for delivery.

Take the case of Racks, the homegrown American comfort food and leading ribs restaurant chain in the Philippines. Racks have once again innovated product offerings and have used their famous pork ribs and US steak meats to launch three “real deal” sandwich-offerings, crafted by artisans especially for those who crave juicy and tender meats marked with the signature freshly grilled flavor in their burgers in time for World Cheeseburger Day.

“These burger and sandwich offerings mark a significant milestone in Racks’ many years of offering interesting and well-loved American food favorites to Filipino foodies. We took heed of how much burgers have evolved to become one of the friendlier takeaway and delivery items in the country and saw fit to offer our brand of burgers and our take on these favorites to our customers,” said Eric Fontillas, Racks Marketing Manager.

The BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich

This Southern USA-inspired pork barbecue creation is cooked slow and low. The meat is perfectly shredded and soaked in classic barbecue sauce and topped with homemade coleslaw and served with signature onion block or Belgian fries.

The Great Cheeseburger

One of the more famous comfort foods, the Racks Great Cheeseburger is made with imported ground pork belly and US Angus rib eye simply seasoned with a pinch of salt & pepper, topped with layers of fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, American cheese, caramelized onions, and special barbecue and homemade burger sauce, as with the other signature sandwiches offered, it is served with signature onion block or Belgian fries.
