Building a Steakhouse in Alabang Philippines (Chingolo Deli with Erwan and Nico)

[@bingbus]

I just went there last week and man the steak was heavenly. The bill was indeed surprising in a good way!!! Please be consistent! I will be baaack!

[@jshu-_-]

What made you say that? Affordable? Worth it? Cheap?

[@popsymix7332]

I think his referring to the taste of the food.

[@janeacusar]

I think he meant that the price is well worth it considering how the meat tastes.

[@5shotsofcola]

Erwan and Nico looks like a really good mentor. I wish they publish a book someday about business and friendship

[@bobbymartino8254]

I love that the dishes on the menu is not a fusion but an authentic representation of what they really are and should be. An argentinian beef is a steak grilled to perfection and seasoned well by an Argentinian fire master. The salad looked amazing looks like a ceasar, and the pastas of course is Italian and of course the coffee is pure Filipino. Identity and purity. Hope to visit soon. Congratulations!

[@toniomaximus4376]

since my amputation i hardly ever go out anymore. But going to Chingolo is now my first priority and first reason to step out . Id love to go there. And my first order will definitely be PICANHA!!!

[@pektowanderlust]

I was just in Buenos Aires the other day, and it is nice that there is now a place in the Philippines where you can experience Argentinian cuisine.

[@ramonaraquelvlog]

Wow! What an amazing journey! From zero to 100, it’s been a tremendous success for both of you. Congratulations and best wishes, everyone! What a fantastic achievement!

[@KuyaCraig]

I’m a crew member for a major US airline and I can vouch for the beef being best in Argentina. But South Korea also has great cuts of beef! Can’t wait to continue watching this episode.

[@stephenkrus]

Erwan 👑 you're ballsy for trying 9-10 restaurant & bars. My gosh! 😳

[@AiraGar-w8q]

It's a long video but definitely worth your time to watch this. The passion that everybody has to build the rest from scratch, magnifique. I hope I get to visit and dine in this rest someday.

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for watching! We hope you get to visit soon!

[@therodtriptv]

The journey is just as important as the destination. I’m a food vlogger here in Davao and I’m excited to extend my food adventures to Cebu and Manila. CHINGOLO will definitely be my first stop when I visit my Dad in BF. :)

[@donamarinas6274]

Been a fan of Bolzico beef for years! Even if im working abroad, I just order and send it to my family as we are all steak lovers 🤗 You guys are amazing, and the beef, what can I say? Superb and nothing more!

[@disenyoritadesigns6986]

More videos about Chingolo x Restaurant Series! I absolutely love it! Thanks for taking us along!

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@mjtaH17]

21:41 Robusta Coffee winners from Ilocos Sur (Sigay and G. Del Pilar) Hope you will do some documentary/interview with them too in the future ❤

[@jojitateoka4605]

Wow. First, I want to try your restaurant and those Bolzico beef Second, lots of business/personal lessons from start to finish (lots of hidden gem lessons also for me). Learned a lot on this video. May God bless you, your family, your team, and your business.

[@christianocampo7984]

Nice to hear the inside story, it's really important the good choice of people to be with you when setting up any business. Congratulations!

[@featrmedia]

We appreciate it! It definitely takes a good team.

[@sharplance8393]

[@beth4951]

Switzerland has also good beef but still we buy more Argentinian beef coz it’s the best! I love T-bone steak! Greetings from Switzerland!

[@featrmedia]

Congratulations to the whole team! Wish you all the best!

[@christinaalviedo579]

WOW! I just hope they have one here in California! Argentinian beef is top of the line!!! GOOD LUCK BOLZICO FINE DINING!!!👏👏👏

[@arlz_13]

This makes me want to book a flight to Manila just to enjoy what I imagine would be a great meal at Chingolo!

[@JoyyyV]

Nico's outfit is very Southie lifestyle look. The shorts and slippers are basically the uniform for anyone who lives in the South (Alabang-Parañaque-Las Piñas). I think he's a local already! Wherever we go, from the mall to parks and family functions, shorts and slippers all the way lol

[@pinkysmith7139]

Congratulations!! Cheers to your new resto! 💫

[@PeakyBrowne]

Cheers to your new restaurant 🥳 I hope that one day I could go there and eat! 💯 as usual for the video quality

[@FollowEman]

Thanks for sharing your past experiences. Very inspiring.

[@Jerome-Philippines]

Congratulations with your new restaurant!! Was in Alabang few times last month but just passing by not tried any restaurants yet. Next time I’ll visit your place.

[@bertongmais766]

This video has taught me a lot, and it's worth watching even if it's about an hour long. Thank you for sharing this inspirational story. I hope to open my own restaurant eventually.

[@MickeyCanlas-i5y]

Wow congratulations!🎉 Couldn’t wait to try Chingolo when I go home ❤

[@DanielleJaramilla]

I love this so much!! May Chingolo & Bolzico Beef live on ❤ Wishing you both so much success on this endeavor! Will be visiting for sure; funny, humble and both very knowledgeable guys, so glad you guys are in this space ☺ Love & well wishes from the Texas state! 🤘

[@itsmariemanalo]

Its like watching a feature of a company, how they are built and yet on each part is soooo funny and just enjoyable and engaging to watch but soo much to learn about planning, building, problem-solving, team relations, and learned experiences. 😊😍🤪

[@finefrenzy9567]

[@jurissalas-chow1587]

BRAVO Now I have to come visit from USA

[@maverickjudd]

[@ojmit32gaming]

I was so happy that you guys opened in Molito. Been wanting to try the beef for the longest time being an avid watcher of Erwan's videos and talking about food especially the beef and empanadas. Also had the pleasure of meeting Nico when we ate there. He was such a nice guy, and he talked about his vision about the restaurant. Wishing you more success guys.

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for stopping by! 😊

[@janefromwi]

[@Nuts018]

[@miqoi9067]

This is healthy environment to work with..

[@bonkersblock]

you guys need to import that in whole steer! and break it down! frozen and partitioned beef looks more like what people buy in the super market...

[@alonajost672]

It was a very long video but it’s worth watching it!! Congratulations!!

[@denisejanlabuca7806]

man, love this video so much!

[@lon_dawg]

That beef looks so good🤤. You should expand your export to los estados unidos!

[@camilajorrat1455]

Bravo Francisco !!!!

[@oliviaonystok1816]

[@TONYPORJ]

[@Mary-sh2bp]

I’ll take my cousin there when I visit the Philippines. I can afford it for sure, and he will be absolutely delighted to have real steaks, instead of the Jollibee burger steaks. Please still be there in two years. 😅

[@mayoller8000]

Good food…reasonable price…keep it up

[@bricesereneo7269]

Right into home, congratulations for landing at the center for everyone who contributed to these. From your poultry to the vegan product and now. The medianiacs are busy along with the politicreators and we conceptualics are free by 18th

[@teresitapua5369]

I’ve been to Patagonia ( chile, Brazil, Argentina). I love all their beef there but I ve tasted the most tasty burger in Rio de Janeiro.

[@rs08Philippines]

goooooodluck sa lahat! ^____^

[@micamicmamicala]

Great Video! Reminds of The Bear S2.

[@salmon_sashimi5137]

Power of story telling

[@michaelpaggao8010]

I like watching it.. ❤❤❤ love it

[@JanAvior]

25:20 this is what truly matters the most

[@acelordejoetayag1908]

Chingolo, looking forward to dining here.

[@malvarez3611]

Is there a process where you have to invest to farmers (or related to that) to ensure the production/quality keeps going?

[@Lifeat48]

Yes agreed. Interested in investing with our local farmers as well.

[@deeLucas1612]

I love their partnership. I think I need a Nico Bolzico in my life because I have the Erwan personality but I’m the fat kid inside and out 😅.

[@bernajavier4598]

Good strat to introduce the whole team. Taking the emotions in. Im from north and now interested to go to south side for this

[@leensalocin]

Damn yall really opened one when i JUST left the philippines and been looking for good steak!! maybe next time

[@fl-g15ramirezscullylou87]

I think when Erwan's serious, he's still pa-cool 😂, while when Nico's serious, I don't know, but he's kinda scary (I know that's unintentional, he's still the funniest guy).

[@judibethgamano2872]

Will definitely visit there

[@czar7507]

Argentinian beef is the best I remimber working on an expedition ship every time we duck to Argentina Buenas Aires we eat out all of us in a parella steak house and a good bottle of Malbec red wine all night it's soo good like eating in heaven I'm a steak lover.. Uruguay also have a good steak but nothing compares too Argentinian beef our bosses from Norway brings home lots of these steak and discharge it when we arrive in Norway.. I just got back to the UK if I knew these before hand I could have pulled up and eat out as I'm from the south very near alabang next time though I will come and have a feast..

[@bellecasasiempre-fh4wg]

I will visit and eat there when I go home to the Philippines 🥰

[@awakeaimee]

Congratulations

[@jedilady4485]

OMG i'm drooling look at that beef!!

[@Ceessyyy]

love this!!! been ordering online during the pandemic then moved abroad. looking forward to try the Molito resto when I'll be home sooon ✨ tbh ur steak's better than the one we have here 🇨🇦

[@anonymous_skinner]

How did they fix the leak and roofing and how long did that take?

[@bricesereneo7269]

For the electrical use the front for solar panels and have industrial batteries that can supply for lighting and appliance operation.

[@tadrod2323]

been to Argentina 2x,i was in Salta the last time, i had an awesome dinner steak there.

[@patriciacruda6635]

Erwan's face on the cover photo of the video before I clicked on it hahaha

[@jeancritchley8340]

Will definitely pay a visit to try and compare with nz beef 🥹😀

[@bemsvlog]

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

[@femmaalit.espiritu7708]
