Who is the gourmand?
The gourmand is the owner of the UCC Coffee, Cafe City 1888, Sakae Sushi, Crepes and Cream, Caveman and Yeti, and loves food more than anything else. His love for food with a sprinkle of luck and hard work, paved the way to his success in opening a number of dining destinations in the country making global cuisine accessible to the Filipino palate.
Mr. Young would have gone the easier way taking over the family business as he wouldn’t have to go through job hunting of finding silly jobs like selling door locks. But food business is his calling so he pursued it. To know more about him check out his website www.hubertyoung.com

Ooohh nice places to check out. I haven’t tried UCC but always wondered about it, it just seems SO high end. The boyfriend also refuses to go because he has a bad memory associated with the UCC branch at The Podium. It’s a very long story, but I’ve been willing him to go back so he can overcome that memory.
done with my registration, thanks!
^_^ Oh I’d love to try their coffee
Done with the registration! thanks a lot!
