… the power of social media.
{{ In 2021, the restaurant was facing bankruptcy and closure when Parker and Stone came to the rescue. They bought Casa Bonita for $3 million, then pumped increasing amounts of money into its renovation and rejuvenation until the bill came to a reported $40 million. They repaired every aspect of the crumbling infrastructure, brought in new executive chef Dana Rodriguez, and upped the wage for employees to $30 per hour.
Casa Bonita finally re-opened on a limited basis in July 2023, and is running closer to a full schedule. And it’s so popular that Rodriguez said in March that it’s got a waiting list 600,000 people long. You can’t just get a reservation. All you can do is register for the restaurant’s mailing list and wait for them to contact you with a date and time. And wait. And wait. For months. }}
This almost sounds like a Mr Beast stunt.
