Do you know that Max’s Restaurant has been serving sarap to the bones fried chicken for 70 years now? My oldest memory of Max’s restaurant is 25+ years ago. Madalas kame sa Baclaran branch nila eh and it’s always something that I look forward to kapag naluluwas kame sa Pasay (I grew up in the province fyi). Akalain mong mas matanda pa pala doon ang Max’s Restaurant!
Ang nakakatuwa, even now that Max’s Restaurants is everywhere, my kids had the same excitement as I had with a mere mention of Max’s chicken. It’s really one of our favorite restaurants.
In celebration of its 70th year anniversary, Max’s Restaurant brought its family, friends, and loyal customers back to the place where it all began, the original branch at Scout Tuazon.
There was an outdoor display at the Ruby Hall’s courtyard featuring historic photos of the five original founders, black and white photos of the original branch when it had just opened, and even a photo of the old Greenbelt branch in Makati. As guests admired the displays and exchange happy Max’s stories, they were being serenaded by a quartet playing songs that conjured some of their fondest memories.
Syempre hindi pahuhuli ang #KumareBloggers in celebrating Max’s 70th Year Anniversary. Alam nyo naman na ang favorite ninyong mga kumare eh Max’s din ang favorite na restaurant. I really wish nakasama ako sa marehan portion na ito to enjoy endless trip down memory lane kwentos with Kumares and enjoy the surprises Max’s offered to their guest…
Kase naman, as guests entered Ruby Hall, they were welcomed by a creen showing Max’s Restaurant’s heartwarming television commercials, and by a mini museum hosting various memorabilia through the years. Vintage uniforms, yellowing employee Ids, and even antique menus from previous decades proudly showcased Max’s Restaurant’s apparent staying power in the food industry, having not only survived, but grown through numerous years of changes.
President and CEO of Max’s Group Inc. Mr. Robert F. Trota led the final toast in thanking the guests for being a part of the celebration, sincerely expressing to each of them that “we would not be here without you,” just as he did during his surprise visit to one of the branches. The evening was a genuine and heartwarming expression of gratitude from Max’s Restaurant to all of those who were part of building “The House That Fried Chicken Built” with them. The celebration was truly a testament of the tradition of host-guest hospitality and generosity that the founders started 70 years ago.
