There’s a Japanese proverb that goes “Better than a banquet somewhere is a bowl of rice at home.” At Anthony’s Grill and Santa Fe Build-A-Bowl, two new fusion take-out restaurants courageous enough to open – and thrive – in the midst of COVID-19, rice is just the beginning.
Both ventures are founded on the hibachi meal concept of building a complex and flavorful stir-fry with your choice of proteins, vegetables, starch and sauces. Santa Fe Build-A-Bowl sprung from the minds of chef Martín Rios of Restaurant Martín and his business partner Corey Fidler during the second restaurant lockdown last fall. A bowl-based pop-up restaurant, Restaurant Martín co-owner and general manager Jennifer Rios explains, “was an idea born of food and beverage professionals who can’t sit still.” The Rios family – which includes their 23-year-old daughter, Build-A-Bowl’s social media maven, and her boyfriend, who designed the pop-up’s logo – are expecting the new concept to cover Restaurant Martín’s rent, gas and electric bills through the pandemic.
