Part One: Everybody's Cafe
Are you using a trusty GPS for driving? We've been going around our country for years using a book of maps, now, that we have android phones we have been dependent on it. And thank God for it, unless we would be able to track down this legendary restaurant at the heart of Capampangan's dining center, San Fernando.
Just along MacArthur highway, once you are at San Fernando Pampanga, you will never miss the old big sign of Everybody's Cafe. I'm actually wondering how old the sign post is? In front of what seemed to be a 70's designed house are rows of cars of diners, both locals of Pampanga and neighboring towns people including Manila's foodies.

I guess this wall said it all. Well, one reason why we were here, navigated a number of towns in Bulacan instead of using NLEX to go to Bagac, Bataan for our 17th wedding anniversary, is to see and taste for ourselves why all the rants and raves were about. I don't know much about Capampangan's cuisine except for the famous brand Pampanga's Best (a brand that produces and markets processed meats). So I had to rely to our good old friendly neighbor, Mr. Google. Wait let me let you in on a secret, this restaurant is on my bucket list. Of course I do have one, actually there are a few more located at Pampanga.
We left out home late at 10 am on a Sunday morning which was one of the stupidest thing we did, another is trusting Bhogs, cellphone navigator to bring us to our destination. We aimed to reach San Fernando by 12 pm or worst at 1pm, but we got to San Fernando by 2 pm, and my tummy was grumbling and all we have in the car is a bottle of water and slices of Mandarin Oranges. We were supposed to be checked in at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar by 2 pm yet we were still at the cafe, waited for our late lunch which took 15 minutes or so to be served.
