For the first time in 45 years, Trellis Restaurant in Quezon City has sold out its bestselling Kapampangan Sisig dish after it got featured on Netflix's Manila episode of 'Somebody Feed Phil.'
On Facebook, Trellis shared the awesome news as it thanked its patrons and new supporters for the overwhelming support.
'Thank you all for your overwhelming support after our Netflix feature!' Trellis wrote. 'For the first time in 45 years, something we never thought possible, we have sold out our sisig,' it added, as it encouraged guests to try the other Filipino dishes on offer.
Trellis is just one of a number of Philippine-based restaurants featured on the episode, including Toyo Eatery, Aling Sosing's Carinderia, Asador Alphonso, Chicks ni Otit, and Grace Park by the late Margarita Fores.
In a press statement, Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said the Philippine feature on 'Somebody Feed Phil' is a major boost for the country's push toward food, culture, and film tourism.
'From street eats to heirloom recipes, the episode captures the rich flavors and the even richer warmth of Filipino hospitality,' Frasco said.
'This feature also supports our efforts to elevate gastronomy tourism as a key strategy—inviting the world to experience the Philippines through the stories, heritage, and heart behind Filipino cuisine,' she added.
The Department of Tourism has listed gastronomy and film tourism among its key priorities under the National Tourism Development Plan (NTDP) 2023–2028.
The Manila episode is part of Season 8 of 'Somebody Feed Phil,' a popular food and travel show following 'Everybody Loves Raymond' creator Phil Rosenthal as he takes viewers on a food journey worldwide.
It started streaming on Netflix last Friday.
And in case the Manila episode of "Somebody Feed Phil" got you craving for sisig, Trellis is located at 40 Matalino St. corner Kalayaan Avenue, Quezon City.
