You may not feel her presence on television these days but Kris Aquino is still the reigning Queen of All Media. After 20 years of working for the country’s biggest TV network, Aquino decided to leave ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. and try her hands on other things.

Aside from keeping her followers up to date with her online show called Heart to Heart with Kris, Aquino is also busy learning the ropes of running her own businesses. Nacho Bimby, Aquino’s latest venture, is a food cart concept offering tortilla chips topped with pulled beef and a variety of dressings. As anyone would have guessed, the business was named after James “Bimby” Yap Jr., whose favorite snack is a fusion of Tex-Mex cuisine.
