Calgary, we have another Food Network moment.
Darwin’s Charcoal BBQ Chicken is officially making its national debut on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives tonight at 9 pm MST, and it is putting Filipino charcoal BBQ right into the spotlight.
If you love Calgary’s food scene, this is a fun one.
What Guy Fieri Is Highlighting
The episode focuses on Darwin’s signature Filipino flavours. Viewers will see their 48-hour marinated charcoal BBQ chicken, island-style dishes, and the smoky, grill-fired cooking they are known for. Everything featured on the show reflects dishes they already prepare in-house, and they will continue serving these same items after the episode airs.
A Proud Moment For Calgary’s Filipino Community
Darwin’s Charcoal BBQ Chicken has become a favourite for people who love Filipino-style BBQ and warm, comforting flavours. Seeing this Calgary restaurant featured on one of the biggest food shows on television is a big moment for the owners, the team, and the growing Filipino food community in the city.
