The Grub Sprawl, which has had successful runs in Hillcrest, Coronado, North Park, La Jolla and Little Italy, will spring into downtown for the first time. On Feb. 13 from 6 – 10 p.m., the Grub Sprawl will take over the East Village.
Los restaurantes participantes de este año incluyen: Bub's at the Ballpark, Hotel Indigo, The Knotty Barrel, Village 631, Proper A Gastro Pub, East Village Tavern and Bowl, El Vitral, Lolita's at the Park, Smashburger, Toast Enoteca, Bootlegger y Mission Brewery.
Smashburger owner Dave Whisenhunt said, “We wanted to participate in the East Village Grubsprawl because this is our community. It’s important to us to be part of community events and support local programs. The Grubsprawl is a fun way to spread more burger love downtown, and we’re all about that!”
For the sprawl, Smashburger will be offering a classic Smashburger with a Coors Light or a classic SmashChicken sandwich with a Coors Light.
To participate, attendees must wear complimentary wristbands, which can be picked up at Bub’s at The Ballpark, located at 715 J St. or Hotel Indigo, located at 509 9th Ave. starting at 5:45 p.m. that evening.
Bub’s at the Ballpark General Manager Frank Miller said “We’re excited to have more events that are starting to come down to the East Village so we can showcase our restaurant and what we’re about,” which he said is “Fun, great food in a bar atmosphere, sports and tater tots.”
For the Sprawl, Bub’s at the Ballpark will offer a half chicken sandwich and tots.
Wearing these wristbands enables participants to enter any of the participating restaurants and order the evening’s special dish priced at $5 each.
“Estamos emocionados de poder finalmente traer Grub Sprawl a East Village. Este Grub Sprawl es el primero de seis que hemos planeado para este año, y distinguirá a East Village como su propia comunidad distintiva con una escena de restaurantes prometedora ”, dijo William Lopez, presidente de Alternative Strategies y creador de la Grub Sprawl.
“Se siente muy bien tener tantos restaurantes diversos ansiosos por participar esta vez, con la incorporación de nuestro primer participante orientado a las bebidas, Mission Brewery”, dijo López. "También estamos encantados de ver que tantos asistentes anteriores expresan lo emocionados que están de regresar y experimentar todos los Grub Sprawls en todo el condado de San Diego en 2012".
