Union-Tribune Reviews Us!

If you want to know what food and restaurant critic, Peter Rowe, of the San Diego Union-Tribune thought about O’Brothers check out his review! We’ve listed the highlights for you O’Bros fans looking for a quick read.

THE BUZZ

O’BROTHERS, 188 Horton Plaza, downtown; (619) 615-0909; lunch and dinner daily

THE FOOD: Organic burgers, salads, fries and onion rings.

THE SCENE: Narrow, light-filled room is stylish but relaxed. Across from Victoria’s Secret and above Levi’s, it’s part of Horton Plaza yet apart from the hubbub.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Burgers (served with salad), $7.75 to $9.50; Cobb salad, $9.25; organic sodas, $2.50; beer, $4 to $9; wine, $4.75 to $10 per glass or $17.50 to $37.50 by the bottle.

DON’T MISS: The Big O’, a deliciously busy bacon-cheese-avocado burger, $9.50; the mammoth portobello veggie burger, $7.25; the surprisingly large and pleasingly fresh salads that accompany every sandwich.

O’Brothers on TV

Craig and I were just on KUSI’s morning program with Dan Plante. Check it out!

Food Inc…

Derek — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:31:01 +0000

So Craig (my brother) cought the 2:10 showing of Food Inc, the movie. Before it ends, like 10 minutes before, he decides to address the entire theatre. He introduces himself and tells everyone all about O’Brothers. He continues to tell all the theatre go’ers that if they mention his name their entire meal will be picked-up by us!! Holy S!%&*, I say. “You got to be kidding me”. He responds with that there were only 30 or so, but still.

He went back to sit through a second showing (I know, he’s a nut) of the same show. Yes, he addressed the theatre yet again, but this time he handed out free burger cards instead. Much better. Hopefully we’ll see some redemptions.

Asperger Syndrome

Derek — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:13:55 +0000

Here at the restaurant right now and I got talking to a customer who told me that their child has Asperger Syndrome. She went on to say the they’ve started him on a strict diet of 100% organic food and that they’re witnessing startling changes.

Do you think this speaks VOLUMES for organics!?

San Diego tWineUp

Derek — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:19:51 +0000

We recently hosted a great group of people from the San Diego Twitter community for a monthly event called a tWineUp. On June 12th, 80 plus local Twitter users and guests drank wine, enjoyed our fantastic organic burgers, and networked with each other. I highly recommend going to the July tWineUp!

Square Martini Media has some great photos of the event HERE and Ricardo Villarreal (www.twitter.com/skovi) put together a fun video of the evening.
Thanks to everyone that came by.
