With his experience in the restaurant industry and a passion for providing excellent food and service, Taylor opened the first Texas Roadhouse location, which quickly gained popularity for its delicious food, warm hospitality, and distinctive Western-themed decor.

Taylor’s commitment to “Legendary Food, Legendary Service” soon earned Texas Roadhouse a loyal following, and the brand began to expand rapidly across the United States. Today, Texas Roadhouse has become a well-known and beloved chain of restaurants with locations in multiple countries, including the Philippines, where the Evia Lifestyle Center branch showcases the same commitment to quality and hospitality that started it all.

Steakin’ it easy at Meat Depot

Truth be told: I came from a family of true-blue steak-lovin’ carnivores and so did my Hubby. Apparently, through the interplay of “nature” and “nurture”, our kiddoes turned out to be just like us.

Little wonder, then, that the thought of indulging our inner carnivores by having a steak lunch at Meat Depot after a bout of shopping in Greenhills was enough to have us practically salivating with excitement for the upcoming meal.

Meat Depot, Greenhills

Meat Depot has the unique quality of being both a butcher shop and a kitchen at the same time. First established in 2014, it aimed to provide consumers with quality meats for home or institutional consumption, and to bring excellently cooked meats to hungry diners.

At any of its branches, diners can browse through and select their choice from a wide selection of premium cuts which they can bring home, or turn over to Meat Depot’s master grillers for cooking those meats to bring out all of its possibilities in flavor, tenderness and juiciness.
