GD Bro Burger finds parking in Santa Ana, let me explain... You may have recognized the name from Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race"  (Season 6)  They found a place to park the food truck and opened their first brick and mortar in Santa Ana.

When you know it's going to be really good,  you hop on  a plane and congratulate him in person! Chef / Owner Jeff Osaka of Osaka Ramen  and I have been friends  for a long long time.  I've been looking forward to checking out his latest restaurant opening.  Or should I say two restaurant openings?  Both restaurants located in Denver.  It was good to see him, his family, and a few friends to catch up and have some good eats...  The space at the RiNo location is underground, just like some of the ramen shops in Japan.
