Last March 29, I got an invite to the relaunch of the TLC Chowdown along with media people and bloggers at Tomas Morato to experience first hand this amazing food challenge.
D registered as one of the challengers to finish a whole order of Crispy Pata in 5 minutes. Yes. One whole order of crispy pata from Gerry's Grill which our family normally order for sharing.
Here are the challengers initializing on how to finish that whole Crispy Pata.
And let the chowdown begin.. And may the odds be ever in your favor :)
On Your Mark, Get Set.. Go!
Around 10 participants joined but only 1 reigned supreme.
It was a right decision that D and I went to this event. Aside from meeting new friends and chowing down on great food from Gerry's Grill menu items, D actually won the battle. I was surprised that he won since I myself did not expect that he would eat that whole order of Crispy Pata.
But then again, he did and went home with various prizes and gcs from TLC and Gerry's Grill. But aside from that, the grand prize that he gets to take home was Pride and Honor with extra bragging rights on the side.
Mr. Jacque Ruby, head of Discovery Channel, awarded D with his winning prizes.
Here's D giving his winning speech which I guess he already practiced on our way there. Talk about confidence and fighting spirit :)
Overall, the event was truly a memorable one. It was an experience we would treasure and have fun looking back on.
So if you want to experience this one of a kind experience too, visit the participating branches and you might just be the Chowdown Winner to bring home fantabulous prizes and ultimate bragging rights.
