Thrillist food and drink staff writer Adam Lapetina ranked Jollibee at No. 1 in the New York City-based website’s “Best International Fast Food Chains” list.
“We polled our international friends to find the best chains most Americans have never heard of — and then we ranked them from worst to best,” explained Lapetina.
Lapetina commended Jollibee for serving “Filipino comfort food” that’s easily embraced by, well, everyone.
He also complimented the fast food chain’s mascot, the “giant anthropomorphic red bee who’s one of the most recognizable figures in the Philippines.”
Jollibee must be dnacing his ass off right now:
