Food for Tooth
By Otto George I. Weber

F.H.M.

    Sorry to disappoint all you hot-blooded dudes out there, but this isn’t about that popular men’s magazine. It’s about that compact grill & restaurant along V .Gustilo St. (near PNB) – Fonzy’s and its Hot Meals, thus, F.H.M.
     At full capacity with 40 people, it has a casual feel to it, in the native manner. Sitting on those wooden benches and listening to pop/rock music blaring from the speakers reminds me of my younger years. Offering mainly Filipino dishes at affordable prices, Fonzy’s certainly appeals to young professionals and students on a tight budget.
    We found the house specialty – Baby Back Ribs – quite tasty while the kids had a field day demolishing the tender Whole Fried Chicken we took home for dinner.
     Being served my favorite pilsen brew in chilled, slim glass mugs was a nice touch, too. Outside, kids were literally lining up to buy the refreshing buko shake.
      The number of the waitresses needs some augmentation for quicker response to customers’ needs. Another downside – restrooms are some 20 meters out back and well, need some serious clean-up.
     Just a short walk from the plaza, it is ideally located for a hot meal after attending to personal business in that vicinity.
