Kenny Rogers Roasters Roasting in Bacolod

-





Two decades ago, every time we go to Manila, Cebu and Iloilo for meetings and conferences, we always find time to visit this American restaurant franchise serving roasted chicken and ribs, baked macaroni and  its famous  muffins, fresh fruit salad, coleslaw and bacon potato salad, desserts like fruits in crème, choco mousse, crème brulee and many more.

Kenny Rogers Roasters is finally roasting in Bacolod, this is the 52nd branch in the country, the third in the Visayas with its modern facilities and a new ambiance simply showing the new generation of young entrepreneurs who are instrumental in bringing the business in Bacolod. They have a rotisserie that can roast 42 whole chickens at a time for about 90 minutes, the chicken is marinated for 24 hours in herbs and spices and cooked until its golden brown which is its best seller and really taste good. The restaurant can accommodate 175 visitors at a time with comfortable seats with tables for family and friends to dine in.

The opening day began with a mass officiated by Fr. Deogracias Aurelio V. Camon, he mentioned in his homily about ‘Service with A Smile’ which inspired the whole team as he reminded us that customers want to be attended to, he compared our smiles to honey where flies are attracted to and not like vinegars which is comparable to frowning faces that is not good for the service industry.

            Councilor Kalaw Puentevella cut the ribbon with guests and visitors, many had fun when the ceremonial throwing of coins and chocolates was done, it’s a Filipino tradition where guests participate by picking coins and chocolates for good luck, this was followed by the blessing of the different facilities in the store.







            The staff and crew were all smiles while serving food and entertaining visitors, headed by Mary Nicelle Vistar , Jellyn Justin Eguid, Johnfrey Genise and Jenny Rose Hechanova , the store is now fully operational with a promise of serving fresh ingredients and the choicest cuts seasoned and cooked with taste and perfection, the beginning of a deliciously healthy habit where everyone wears a smile .

The town was known as Manlambus, a Visayan term meaning to strike with a club because its coastal waters were then abundant with fish, catching them could simply be done by using a club or lambus.

The seat of the Municipal Government was transferred fro...
