(SPOT.ph) If you've been around Megamall, Salcedo, and BGC recently, you might have noticed a new restaurant called George and Onnie's pop-up. Eagle-eyed Spotters noted that these new shops are all coincidentally in the location of what used to be Little Flour, Wildflour's Filipino sister brand. Rumors spread about possible closures and buyouts but well, on August 11, the brand finally put all speculation to rest. They made it socmed-official! Little Flour is out and George and Onnie's is in—at least, on the doors.

Here's what we know about Little Flour's big name change:
Starting on August 11, all of Little Flour's social media pages have changed their names to George and Onnie's.
In a statement posted on the Wildflour website, we learned that this new concept is named after the parents of the founders, Ana Lorenzana de Ocampo and Chef Margarita Manzke. The post reads, "The name change is a symbolic tribute to all the families and loved ones who first introduced Filipino food to us." It goes on to describe the new restaurant's food describing it as new adventures woven into classics like Sinigang and Adobo.
Worry not, Little Flour regulars. Despite this noticeable and seemingly sudden change in title, so far George and Onnie's menu is pretty much the same as what was Little Flour's. Crowd favorites like the Rice Bowls, Longganisa Skewers, Bicol Express, Lumpiang Ubod, and Filipino-style pasta and noodles are still on deck and can be ordered by diners.
Aesthetic-wise, aside from changes in the signage, not a lot has changed on the inside. The same homey Filipino-inspired interiors still adorn the three standing locations.
So TLDR: it looks like it really is just a name change (for now?)—we'll keep you posted.
