GAR Dubs 12th Resto Ozzie’s Corner Italian
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, March 19th, 2010
Great American Restaurants CEO Randy Norton has confirmed that their forthcoming Italian concept–set to debut in Fairfax Corner sometime this fall/winter–will be named Ozzie’s Corner Italian, a tribute to GAR corporate chef-cum-vice president of kitchen operations Chris Osborn.
Ozzie’s will bump GAR’s Northern Virginia restaurant holdings to an even dozen. Their preexisting properties include: Artie’s, Best Buns Bread Co., Carlyle, Coastal Flats (2), Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge, Mike’s American, Silverado and Sweetwater Tavern (3).
Although the group had flirted with crowning the highly anticipated project Patsy’s (after Norton’s wife), Norton suggested that they had received some pushback from New York eatery/online retailer Patsy’s.
Other abandoned monikers included: “Meatball Palace” (too bad) and “Majestic Meat” (porntacular).
No word yet on who will man the burners, but Norton doesn’t seem too worried.
“I am excited about the progress to date and have no doubt the menu will be ready in plenty of time,” he said.
