Image
Photo: Ulysses Nemeno The southern Philippine city of Davao is a wonderful vacation spot renowned for its magnificent natural scenery, vibrant culture, and delectable cuisine. Colasas Bar-B-Que, a legendary eatery that has been dishing out mouthwatering grilled meats and seafood for more than 50 years, is one of the city's best-kept culinary secrets. Colasas Bar-B-Que's origins can be traced back to the 1960s, when a young couple named Colasa and Salvio founded a tiny eatery in Davao City. Their menu was modest, with only a few options such as grilled pig belly and chicken skewers. The couple's dedication and passion for their trade, on the other hand, swiftly made them famous throughout the city.

They developed their very own special marinade recipe, which has been handed down through the ages and is still a closely-kept family secret. Tod...
