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.

Some moments take your breath away. 🌲☕️

It’s been a stormy week outside, but inside Ozark Diner, magic is happening. This young lady wished for only one thing for her birthday: to come back to her favorite place. She brought her furry best friend along, knowing we’re always proud to be the most pet-friendly spot in Baguio City.

Little does she know, this diner holds a secret legacy—she was conceived right here 11 years ago, and has been a regular ever since. As we celebrate our 12th anniversary month here at Ozark, capturing her and her dad sharing a bourbon glazed pecan pie milkshake brings it all full circle.

This is why we built Ozark in 2014. Happy Birthday! 🐾✨

🥣 TEST RUN #1: Reimagining a Classic Filipino Comfort Food 🇵🇭✨

We just pulled our very first test batch of Champorado off the stove, and the kitchen smells incredible! We’re putting a special spin on this beloved Philippines favorite, crafting it with Balatinao Black Rice (a fragrant heirloom grain from the Cordillera mountains), unrefined Muscovado Sugar, and rich Coconut Milk.

🍫 What is Champorado? (A quick guide for our new friends!)
If you’ve never had it before, think of Champorado (cham-puh-RAH-doe) as the ultimate chocolate breakfast porridge. It’s warm, velvety, deeply chocolatey, and delightfully comforting.

Traditionally served for breakfast or a rainy-day afternoon snack (merienda), it strikes a perfect balance between sweet, rich, and hearty. In the Philippines, it’s famously drizzled with milk and paired with tuyo—crispy, salted dried fish—for a sweet-and-savory contrast that works unexpectedly well!

🌏 One Name, Endless Variations
For our Filipino community, champorado carries a world of nostalgia, but everyone grew up eating it a little differently depending on where their family is from:

The Chocolate Base: Many regions favor rich, bitter-sweet tablea (pure cacao disks rolled by hand), while other households swear by cocoa powder or melted chocolate blocks.

The Milk Drizzle: While a swirl of evaporated or condensed milk is standard in many Manila and Luzon households, coastal and southern regions often enrich the porridge directly with fresh coconut milk (gata).

The Rice: Standard glutinous white rice (malagkit) is the classic choice across most island provinces, but heirloom varieties—like the nutty mountain-grown Balatinaw black rice we’re testing today—bring incredible depth and texture to the dish.

We’re dialing in the recipe to honor those classic roots while elevating every ingredient.

Up next is our savory and a bit salty "hibi" (dried tiny shrimps) Texas Toast served like an Italian biscotti on the side.

What’s your absolute favorite way to eat Champorado? Extra thick or a bit soupier? Team Evap or Team Coconut Milk? Let us know in the comments below—we’d love to hear your thoughts as we fine-tune Version 1.0! 👇
