Christmas is just around the corner and it is time again for families and loved ones to get together and enjoy each other’s precious time and company. What better way to share the bountiful blessings of the season than to have a spectacular feast of delicious flame-grilled fall-off-the-bone ribs at RACKS. Beginning November 14, 2016, Racks is offering its special Holiday Rib Platter (P1,975) complete with waffle fries, vegetable sidings, Rib Flakes Rice, and a pitcher of soda which is good for 5-6 persons, perfect for the entire family!
But the best thing about the Holiday Rib Platter is that for every purchase of this holiday set, a portion of the sales will go to support the Noche Buena campaign of World Vision, a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. So just by enjoying Racks’ sumptuous ribs with your family or friends, you will also be donating to charity and helping out the less fortunate. Eating for Charity? The Hungry Kat will definitely support that!
I was invited for a preview of Racks’ holiday specials last week at one of their biggest and newest branches along Timog Avenue in Quezon City. It was my first time to visit this particular branch so I was quite impressed with its contemporary design surrounded by warm wooden colors. Every area of the restaurant provided a good backdrop, very useful for today’s social media generation.
The dining area is also divided into several function rooms which can hold parties and events for small and big groups. This would be a great venue for Christmas office parties and Racks also offers group packages for these special occasions. Birthday packages can also be custom-designed to suit each family’s preferences.
This is the best season to share as RACKS ushers in the Christmas season with its annual tradition of giving back, through the Real Act of Christmas KindnesS (RACKS) program, where a portion of sales of RACKS’ all-new holiday offering will go to support World Vision. As the country’s leading homegrown casual dining restaurant, the partnership with World Vision aims to put a delicious meal on the tables of 100 recipient families. You can easily do your share by ordering the Holiday Rib Platter which everyone will surely appreciate.
RACKS’ Holiday Rib Platter features the all-new, tender and delectably meaty Holiday Rib, featuring a harmonious blend of spices that meld into a unique flavor that is equally sweet, spicy and smokey. I had an awesome time devouring a whole portion of ribs for myself. But don’t worry, since it’s the season for sharing, I also shared my platter with my other friends. The Holiday Rib Platter also comes with Rib Flakes Rice – a meaty twist to a staple offering featuring hints of cumin, aromat and oregano mixed with flavorful flakes of RACKS’ signature ribs. Crispy Waffle Fries and a healthful serving of Sauteed Beans and Carrots, plus a pitcher of soda, complete the set which is more than enough to feed a hungry family.
Another holiday offering from Racks is the Holiday Ribeye Steak Plate. This rich and tender ribeye steak is packed with intense flavors and you can see the generous marbling throughout the steak. It is served with grilled tomato and your choice of two side dishes.
Is one of Santa’s reindeers missing? I’m starting to get into the Christmas spirit, myself. Sharing this delicious platter of Racks ribs with the family is definitely the best way to bond.
These smoky and flavorful ribs are so tender that they literally fall off the bones. You only need to use your fork when you eat them. Pair your ribs with Racks’ signature Barbecue Sauce and you can really savour the Best Ribs in Town.
Since we Filipinos all love to eat rice, Racks makes the Holiday Rib Platter even more special by including its own version of fried rice, the Rib Flakes Rice. You will surely be satisfied when you devour your ribs with this unique fried rice variant.
To cap off your carnivorous meals, have some of Racks specialty desserts like the Mississippi Mud Pie (P180), a moist chocolate fudge brownie laden with gooey chocolate inside a bed of thick chocolate syrup topped with Vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Just remember to share!
Aside from helping put food on the table of 100 recipient families under World Vision’s Noche Buena program, customers who purchase the RACKS’ Holiday Rib Platter will also be receiving a Thank You card, a Be Our Guest card for free items on future visits, and a We Share sticker where customers can affix their names for display in RACKS in-store Christmas Tree board to show their support.
I was honored to be the first to put my sticker on their Christmas Tree. Look for it when you visit their Timog branch and make sure to place your stickers as well. Racks’ holiday sets are available from November 14, 2016 up to January 15, 2017 only. Use the hashtag #ShareYourRACKS via social media, to spread not only the holiday goodness of Racks’ deliciously picture-perfect offerings, but more importantly, this worthy and charitable cause.
