OZARK DINER + BnB Southern Cuisine of the United States of America
From MD and the Washington, DC area (NE) to FL TX
Bed and Breakfast The Ozark kitchen is a teaching kitchen.
(663)

The American South is filled with food that comes from a cross between old world dishes and new world ingredients, flavored by cooks from Africa and the Caribbean. Modern day immigrants come from all over the globe. Significant numbers of Asians are well represented, e.g. Vietnamese, Japanese, Filipinos, Chinese, etc.. At Ozark, we present our own take on the classic dishes from diners, soul food and family potlucks. We stay true to the flavor and feel of the original, but may update the technique or bring in a twist on the ingredients. It is important to be informed by tradition, but not be a slave to it. The rich past is our inspiration but our goal is to constantly improve and move forward. It aims to build a strong culinary background and foundation for all of it’s staff to grow in the culinary profession. The fundamentals of being a good cook are only the beginning of the skills needed to be successful in the restaurant business. Every person at Ozark is tasked to learn new things, do them until they have mastered them, and then teach that skill to someone else. Ozark Diner, Private Table, and our regular schedule of educational programs give a breadth of experience that cannot often be found. Our goal is to find the best people and give them the opportunity to grow and reach their own goals. We want the guests at Ozark to feel comfortable, convivial, and at home. The hearty and ample dishes of the diner, along with the gentle breeze and pine view, combine for a relaxing Baguio experience. The welcoming atmosphere and slower pace make it a great place to sit with your companions and enjoy the food and friendship. The variety of the Private Table and the educational programs will feed the appetite of both belly and brain. We’re hoping that through our kitchen and our bed and breakfast service, your stay with us would be a memorable experience, an American Experience.

is pre-empted by the Christmas Holiday in the Philippines starting September 1st. There's even this crooner named Jose Marie Chan with huge ears that jumps out of his slumber to sing original Philippine catchy carols. Step aside Myriah Carey, he's king in this part of the world.

Speaking of, where's our Christmas Tree?

Another Sunday in the South, another Sunday in the North; Where am I?

Baguio City has a long history of cowboy Southern influence from the US. Albert just posted another chapter of his book, , where he tracked Philippine Commision President Howard Taft's wife, Mrs. Helen "Nelle" Taft's first ever trip to the Cordilleras in the summer of 1901, long before Benguet Roadway (current day Kennon Road) was even halfway done.

In his research, he reveals a fun old country song that Mrs. Taft co-wrote with her caravan of explorers. Here are the lyrics written to the tune of this popular traditional folk song, Shenandoah.

For twelve long days we’ve hiked through mountains,
Heigh ho! Cross roaring rivers!
For twelve long days we’ve hiked through mountains,
Ha! Ha! While on our way through wild Lepanto!

One rainy day we reached Sagada,
Heigh ho! Among the rice fields!
One rainy day we reached Sagada,
Ha! Ha! As we toiled along o’er the hills of Bontoc!

A place most sweet with fragrant mint-beds,
Heigh ho! How did it get there?
A place most sweet with fragrant mint-beds,
Ha! Ha! ‘Way high up in the hills of Bontoc!

We didn’t do a thing but make a julep,
Heigh ho! Without the cracked ice!
We didn’t do a thing but make a julep,
Ha! Ha! With the mint we found in the hills of Bontoc!

Something different today.

BTW, free coffee in my diner until 10am. Come on in!

From Manila's Mercato Centrale and Manila Polo Club, we built our home with OZARK DINER + BnB by 2014 and 2016 so we could create food we love. We hope you'd love this, too. Book a table soon! And, stay for the night.

With Mercato Centrale – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉 We've been fans from our 2nd day in the Philppines when Albert's niece took us to the original BGC spot near Wilcon and behind Starbuck's BGC. I still remember ordering Paella Negra for the very first time ever. See, paella was introduced to me by Albert when we went to Fort Lauderdale, FL on one of our beach trips. It was the kind of dish we never saw in Little Rock, Arkansas, which apparently is so popular in Florida because of the early influence of Spain in Savannah and Northern Florida.

We're going full circle, hopefully, when RJ Ledesma finally gets things going.

Cheers to the Mercato Centrale family! Hello to Vanessa!

Nah, I didn't miss Manila Polo Club, nor did I miss Mercato Centrale. I'd be lying if I said I miss my customers and students neither.

Because...

They all came to my bear pine forest.

When we quit, they were shocked.



What they did next?

They followed us to our pine forest home at OZARK DINER + BnB.
