As an offshoot of the very successful (despite naysayers) Davao Food Trip, The Usual Suspects is now preparing for the Davao Food Appreciation Tour, fondly called Davao FAT!
The Davao FAT will be a three day tour of Davao City that will center on food and eating. This will be held from March 14 - 16, 2008, in time for Araw ng Davao. Most meals during this event will be for free for all registered participants.
Among the activities planned are an out-of-town trip, and tasting of products by Davao Food Processors. It will surely be a yumtastic experience for bloggers from around the Philippines.
If you are a blogger and interested in joining this experience, comment here with your Name, and Blog URL. Limited slots are available so sign up now.
Please inform us ASAP if you need assistance with your hotel accommodations here.

Bloggers in Davao — the most active ones anyway — are already aware of the Davao Food Trip, which we started last December 2007. This time, I’d like to invite restaurant owners / managers to join the Food Trip as our hosts.
If you’re a restaurateur and you’d like for us to write about your place, please let us know! Click here to go to our contact form: on that page’s form, please choose “Restaurant Feature Request” as the subject of your message. Please don’t forget to include the name of your restaurant, as well as the address, in the message body.
Through our various blogs, people have come to be more aware of the dining places that we’ve already written about. I can say with a fair amount of confidence that our blogging has helped promote the restaurants, cafés and shops in Davao City. And we’d like to go on doing it!

Welcome to the official Web presence of the bloggers’ activity called Davao Food Trip!
The Davao Food Trip, organized by yours truly and my co-conspirators in The Usual Suspects, started in December 2007, and each leg of the trip has been announced at my homebase blog. From now on, this blog will be the home of the food trip in Davao City.
The sign-up form for joining the trips will also be found here. To date, we’ve been to six restaurants all over town. The next one will be Aseya. Watch out for that announcement!
