Alquiza is known for his special sauce that he named “Bastos“, a Filipino word meaning “rude” or “cheeky”. As explained on his Instagram, it’s a salsa verde sauce with an added kick. During the episode, he was able to incorporate the sauce in the patty melt served to Elizabeth.
Satisfaction level achieved for the Scarlet Witch
Elizabeth Olsen was definitely impressed by the quality of burgers that she was served. Thanks to these two Fil-Am chefs, the Scarlet Witch left the show with her belly full and her taste buds satiated. We’re proud to see the talent of our kababayan spreading into the culinary world.
