Follow the sound and the smell y’all. People are walking up to Darren and just complimenting him on how this corner of Cherokee Street smells amazing — welcome to the Philippines y’all! ❤️ Piyanggang Chicken on the Santa Maria — get here before it’s gone for the day!

12 years living here in STL and I still can’t get use to the weather. It’s definitely a “let’s-go-have-some-adobo-at-The-Fattened-Caf” type of day today.

Goooooooood morning! Do you long for longganisa like we always do? Our Smoked Spicy Chicken longganisa defo hits the spot EVERY TIME. Get it with garlic rice, sunny egg, pickled salads and spiced vinegar dipping sauce OR in an Ube pandesal hotdog bun topped with a banana ketchup bbq sauce, sisig mayo, pickled papaya and onions, and garlic chips for a little snacky snack.

Hey hey hey! We are The Fattened Caf and we specialize in highlighting Filipino BBQ flavors throughout the Philippines — from Chargrilled Pork Belly Sisig from the north to Chicken Piyanggang from the south — we are all about the Filipino BBQ fare ❤️

It was so great meeting so many new people at Great Taste this week and seeing lots of new faces last night. We can’t wait to see y’all today. We’ll be running our smoker all day so if it smells like the corners of the Philippines, just know it’s coming from the corner of Cherokee Street and Jefferson Ave. 🇵🇭

Darren likes to pretend that he’s shy and doesn’t want to be in videos…but really he MAKES me do like 500 takes only so I can listen to his “radio voice” over and over again. He’s right though… come to The Fattened Caf!

We got the sweetest text today from our friend who reminded us that today is 7 years since our first pop up at .

We started in 2018 actually at the farmers market, then moved on to every Tuesday (it was smaller then) before making our way to . In between we took on many catering gigs that we didn’t know would lead to a few more opportunities along the way.

It’s been a wild ride since — doesn’t feel like 7-8 years since there’s still so much to learn and develop! Every year it’s like we have to be an expert in something new or relearn what we thought we’ve already figured out. But here we are. We STILL don’t have it figured out 🤣 but my goodness — we’re still doing the damn thing.

Thanks, STL ❤️ Thanks to all of our staff. Thanks to everyone who supported us along the way. Thanks South City. Here till the wheels fall off.

Don’t pick a favorite, order them ALL. 🥰
