MOM'S BURGER LAB
by: Ron Coselman

Convert your home into a restaurant near a State college, create a hangout for students and  sell cheap food.  This a concept that has been successful in a lot of cities around the world. I am sure that Mom's Burger Lab will succeed within her market here in Dumaguete. 

The menu is nothing but Burgers and soft drinks. No fries, No rice, No chips. Served in a reusable basket and grilled in front of the house. The Cheese Burger was p80 and came with a slice of white cheese, wilted lettuce and mayo.  After looking at the burger on  their Facebook page, I was disappointed. While the beef was hand made, it was a lower quality ground beef. Lacked the flavor I was hoping for. 

A relaxed atmosphere and cheerful waiter. We enjoyed the night in a setting reminiscent of a small college town, (which Dumaguete is).  This fact is sometimes lost with all the focus on tourists and retired foreigners arriving.  This is a perfect place for some of the 30,000 students in the city to gather, chat and just hang out.  I expect that in the usual tradition of the Philippines, we will see more of this type of establishments opening within a short walk of the colleges.

The reviewer gives the burger a 2 1/2 buns.
