Bored & Hungry, a burger haven originating from the vibrant streets of Long Beach, California, has embarked on an exciting journey, blending a unique cryptocurrency theme with a passion for great burgers. With roots grounded in innovation and a flair for flavors, this burger joint has found a new home at Public Eatery in Robinsons Magnolia, delighting the taste buds of the metro’s burger enthusiasts.
Origin Story
Bored & Hungry isn’t just another burger joint—it’s a fusion of cryptocurrency enthusiasm and a love for great food. Restaurateur Andy Nguyen, the visionary behind this venture, conceptualized the restaurant’s theme around non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from the renowned Bored Ape Yacht Club. A testament to creativity and contemporary culture, one of these NFTs even became the official logo of the establishment.
Originally starting as a ninety-day pop-up in Long Beach, the response was overwhelming, attracting over 1,500 customers. This success encouraged Nguyen to transform the pop-up into a permanent establishment, offering a succinct menu of irresistible smash burgers, veggie burgers, crispy French fries, and refreshing soda. The innovation doesn’t stop at the menu; Bored & Hungry even accepts cryptocurrency alongside traditional payments, embracing the future of financial transactions.
Arrival on Philippine Shores
The crypto-currency burger phenomenon quickly crossed oceans to reach Philippine shores, initially setting up pop-up stores at prestigious locations like the Marriott Grand Ballroom and Powerplant Mall’s The Grid Food Market. Thanks to the collaboration between The Tasteless Food Group and Hungry Dao, this exciting concept found its permanent residence at The Grid Food Market, marking its inaugural Asian branch on March 10, 2023.
This gastronomic adventure didn’t stop there. Recently, Bored & Hungry expanded its horizons, adding a second branch at Public Eatery, a sophisticated dining hall within Robinson’s Magnolia. This move further solidifies Bored & Hungry’s commitment to bringing an enticing and novel burger experience to the metro’s denizens.
New Home at Public Eatery
Public Eatery, the home of Bored & Hungry’s second branch, is an upscale dining haven in Robinson’s Magnolia that redefines the concept of a foodcourt. Drawing inspiration from subway lines, it pulsates with energy and movement, creating a modern and stylish ambiance. The spacious, open dining area, provides an inviting setting for gastronomic exploration.
What sets Public Eatery apart is its commitment to diversity in dining. Imagine an express lane towards a world of flavors and cuisines within one convenient location. It’s the place where the metro’s food enthusiasts converge to experience an array of tastes.

Here, we can enjoy Bored & Hungry’s tasty offerings such as the Bored OG Burger (Php395) and the Pinoy OG Burger (Php445).
Bored & Hungry undoubtedly levels up its burger offerings with the Triple OG Burger. This masterpiece is a true delight for burger aficionados. Delight in three all-beef patties, smashed thin and grilled to crispy perfection around the edges, generously layered with caramelized onions and slices of American cheese. All of this goodness is enveloped in butter-toasted brioche buns, creating a mouthwatering symphony of flavors and textures.
Indulging in the Triple OG Burger is an experience worth every peso. Available ala carte for Php525, it’s a meal that promises satisfaction beyond measure. But why stop there?
