At Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, the beef is always prime. Now, with its third installment of the “What’s Your Beef?” series, the New York-born steakhouse adds something more—collaboration, culture, and a bit of culinary muscle behind the bar.

“What’s Your Beef? 3” is a new four-hands happy hour menu, crafted by Executive Chef Chris Oronce and Chef Sebastian Barcudes. Running Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in all Metro Manila locations, the limited-time offering features USDA Prime Black Angus beef reinterpreted through the bold lens of South American flavors.

Chef Chris Oronce, who leads Wolfgang’s Manila kitchens, brings experience from both coasts. He was born in Pampanga and raised in Quezon City, but his culinary education took him to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. From there, he built a career in fast-paced restaurants in New York and Las Vegas before returning to Manila. His cooking is polished but grounded—more about balance than flash.

His co-creator, Chef Sebastian Barcudes, comes from Buenos Aires, Argentina. A graduate of Escuela De Arte Gastronomico, Barcudes also completed a hospitality and food service management program through Cornell University’s eCornell platform. His resume stretches across continents, with time spent in kitchens in the Middle East, Malaysia and the Philippines. At one point, he was on the line at Al Muntaha, the fine-dining restaurant inside Dubai’s sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab.

Their happy hour menu is less steakhouse, more storytelling. Think of it as a trip through Latin America—without leaving your barstool.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, diners can expect empanadas argentinas filled with beef, lime, lemon gel and chili sauce. Then comes a chorizo burger, layered with provolone and crisped chorizo chips. Braised short ribs—costillas de ternera—appear with a tuile, zested up with Andean spices. Anticuchos, or grilled beef skewers, are served with mini corn and chimichurri. For dessert, alfajores with hot chocolate offer a sweet finish—shortbread-style cookies joined by a layer of dulce de leche, ideal for dunking.

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays bring a different rotation. It starts with chipa de carne, a chewy cassava flour pastry filled with beef and topped with Parmesan crisp. Feijoada follows—a hearty Brazilian stew of chorizo, short rib and bacon with black beans and rice. Lomo saltado, the Peruvian stir-fry of hanger steak, tomato and onion in a cilantro-soy sauce, adds freshness. Carne de res—beef skirt steak with smoked red pepper sauce and jalapeño—closes the savory courses. Alfajores again round off the meal.

Each happy hour set comes with drinks—San Miguel’s Pale Pilsen, Cerveza Negra and Cerveza Blanca, plus a range of Latin cocktails like caipirinhas and pisco sours. There’s also malbec and cabernet sauvignon for red wine fans, with rosé and sauvignon blanc rounding out the list.

Set menus are priced at P1,988 with three drinks and P2,188 with four. Additional food plates are available for P348 each.

The “What’s Your Beef? 3” sets are available at Wolfgang’s branches in Bonifacio Global City, Newport World Resorts, The Podium Ortigas, City of Dreams and Araneta City.

At its core, this is not just happy hour. It’s a curated dining moment—one where two chefs, shaped by different geographies but a shared love of beef, meet halfway on the plate.
