Battle of The Chicken Burgers: McDonald’s vs Jollibee

The next time you find yourself in either McDonald’s or Jollibee in the Philippines, observe the orders of the ones ahead of you in the line.

Payag Restaurant – Jo’s Chicken Inato

There’s grilled chicken and then there’s Jo’s Chicken Inato.  This is Bohol’s version of the famous Bacolod inasal.
