Dos Toros, the NYC taqueria mini-chain owned by two Bay Area brothers, opened its 12^th location on October 5^th. The newest storefront is located in Bryant Park and celebrated its first day with $1 burritos, chips, and salsa. Leo and Oliver Kremer, who opened the first location in 2009, said in 2015 that they plan to open 15-20 locations over the next 3 years. The brothers have said it is difficult to scout new neighborhoods that do not already have a Chipotle. But they also feel that their product is sufficiently different from the burrito mega-chain, which currently operates over 2,000 locations globally.

If you follow this website religiously, you will know that we previously reported on David Chang’s delivery-only restaurant concept. Ando is now open and delivering its nominally Asian-inspired offerings within the borders of Midtown East. Chang spoke about the restaurant on Friday at The New Yorker Tech Festival, offering a bit of insight into the origins of the idea. The entire menu, including the fried chicken and cheesesteak sandwich, was specifically engineered for delivery service. The one item he indicated would never be available from Ando? Ramen noodles. Chang stated that other Asian noodles travel better, but are still a while away from being offered on Ando’s menu.
