History
Max's Restaurant started in 1945 when Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford educated teacher, befriended American GIs stationed in Quezon City. As Maximo, or Max, as the GIs called him, invited his new friends over for drinks, the Filipino hospitality kicked in; and Ruby, Max's niece, would prepare food for them to enjoy. Her special recipe for Max's Sarap-to-The-Bones Fried Chicken became a hit and, eventually, an iconic Filipino Dish.
