Watch: Why Max’s Restaurant Is a Beloved Filipino Chain | Eater
"A Philippines-based chain best known for its fried chicken, it traces its origins to the post-WWII home of Maximo Gimenez, where American GIs frequently gathered to drink, socialize, and request fried chicken and steak; their patronage led him to open a cafe. His niece, Ruby Trota, developed the now-famous fried chicken recipe—tender, juicy, and crispy—that became a family staple. With more than 200 locations worldwide, each restaurant serves as a familiar reminder of home for Filipinos abroad and was a beloved spot for celebrating family milestones in Las Vegas." - Eater Video
