Pink Egg Episodes Mayura Wagyu Burger Rerun

 

Due to popular demand (NAKS!!!), Pink Egg Episodes did a repeat of its Mayura Wagyu Burger pop-up, this time in collaboration with Yardstick Coffee.

Read about the first "episode" here.

 

Things you should know about Mayura Wagyu

 

 

Mayura wagyu, burger, coffee and beer-loving people invaded this bright and cheerful
space on Esteban Street last August 2

  

 

They lined up to get their tickets

 

 

And surrendered their burger claim stubs to our ticket lady Felisse, who sent in their
orders to the kitchen.

 

 

The Kitchen (also The Parking Lot. Lol.)
 Each burger was cooked upon order to guarantee the best experience. Good things come 
only to those who are patient. ;)

 

 

Florence and Jamie worked the wagyu patties, Frances seared the foie gras.

 

 

When the burgers were ready, Benjie called out the owners' names 
so they could collect the trays of wagyu goodness.

 

 

 Some had it with foie gras, very few had it without

 

 

And then they claimed their beverages

 

 

Every ticket came with a choice of drink from Yardstick's menu

 

 

The Yardstick team was out in full force to support the event. Thanks so much, you guys! :)
That's Kevin behind the coffee bar.

 

 

Andre with Yardstick's very own "Dear Fred," beer

 

 

And the very pretty Jessica serving up drinks

 

 

I had my favorite at Yardstick - the very strong cold brew with milk. Yum.
Behind my cup is Jen's Yard Shake. 

 

 

With my very good (and extremely health-conscious) friends Jen and Irwin

 

 

Irwin gave me his slab of foie gras which gets me thinking now… 
Is he really my friend or my enemy? HMMMM......  

 

 

But at that very moment, he was my favorite person. JUST LOOK AT THAT. 
Goodbye, 10 beautiful years of my life! 

  

 

A big thank you to everyone who came - friends, family, strangers, new friends, Instagram and Facebook followers, friends of friends, cousins of cousins, just plain burger lovers, coffee lovers, and cyberstalkers (LOL!)… I hope to see you all again in future episodes! :)

 

With Jane Go, one of the earliest to arrive. This super sweet and thoughtful lady
surprised me with birthday goodies from Orange Whisk and Pink Wasabi.
Thank you, Jane! :) 

 

 

With her pretty daughters Jana and Jena

 

 

 My cousins Ryan and Kim with Auntie Edna and Uncle Wilfred

 

 

Rita and friends

 

 

Cheryl and Ivy

 

 

Charlie, Anna, and little Charlee

 

 

Noel and The Partner

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

And last but not the least, to Nathaniel, who came to both episodes and even brought us a box of
Eric Kayser cookies! Thank you, salamat, xiexie, to-sha, arigato gozaimasu, @thehungrychef!

 

 

Proof that I did not finish the whole box by myself!  :P

 

 

I also did not finish this chocolate waffle from Yardstick on my own. Promise.

 

 

Congratulations, Frances and Jamie, on another successful event!

 And thank you to the rest of the 300+ people who came to support!

Pink Egg Episodes Mayura Wagyu Burger

 

I've been away and back, back and away, away and back. 

Would have been away still if I didn't have to fly home for this important one-day event.

 

Mayura Wagyu Burger Pop-Up by Pink Egg Episodes

 

 

Pink Egg Episodes is the baby of my cousin Frances and my sister Jamie.
As you can see, they both like animals, and they both like to eat animals. 

 

 

This is them taste-testing their Mayura Wagyu burgers. I was at every single one of the tastings
to make sure they serve burgers that are up to my standards. OH, THE SACRIFICE!!!!!!  :D

 

 

And then, June 29, The Big Cheat Day

 

 

It was held in a vacant house along Scout Gandia. The place is in the very early stages 
of construction, therefore, no air-conditioning yet.

 

 

Sorry!!! But they had big Iwata units to keep everybody from melting.

 

 

Plus they played a funny Japanese movie to keep diners happily entertained

 

 

"This is our pilot episode, please refrain from screaming at us"
"Please enjoy your own #cheatdayburger but share a table" 

 

 

Tickets were at Php1000 (Goes all out with foie gras)
and P800 (Hold the foie) 
All burgers came with chips and a bottle of craft beer or Sola iced tea. 

 

 

But first, some things you should know about Mayura Wagyu:
1. They stay in a 5-star cow hotel
2. They lay on soft sawdust-cushioned floor
3. They listen to relaxing music for a good night's sleep
4. They eat Cadbury chocolates and gummy bears 

 (5. I want to be a Mayura Wagyu!)

 

 

The game plan

 

 

Assembly line

 

 

Great burgers come to those who wait.
These guys made them as customers arrived. 

 

 

Jamie pan-grilled the Mayura Wagyu patties. Each piece was a whopping 150g!

 

 

Frances pan-seared the thick slabs of foie gras

 

 

Can you say FOIE GRAS???

 

 

Scrimping is unheard of in our family

 

 

The assembly staff all wore mouthpieces (to ensure they don't drool over your burgers. Lol!)

 

 

 What went into each awesome Pink Egg Episodes Mayura wagyu burger

 

 

The Devil Itself

 

 

 It was a challenge to bite into the monster burger,
but it was a much bigger challenge to stop biting into it!

 

 

Mustard and ketchup. But really, there was no need for these.

 

 

Our beer guy Benjie

 

 

The early birds:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wasn't able to stay all day, but thank you from the bottom of my burger heart to all 218 people who came! :)
