Back in May, The Scoop reported that the space at 6227 Delmar Blvd., next door to the now defunct Delmar Restaurant & Lounge in The Loop, appeared to be getting a new restaurant tenant. Well we have since tracked down the owner of the eatery, Wally Othman, to learn more about his plans.
The 25-seat, counter-service style restaurant, to be called Chubbies, will offer burgers, wings, gyros and frozen custard. Othman noted that, while the price point is comparable to that of a fast-food restaurant, his burgers are made fresh; no frozen patties here. Chubbies will offer soft drinks and other nonalcoholic beverages, but Othman also expects to have beer and wine available; a liquor license hearing is scheduled for later this month. If all goes as planned, Chubbies will open within the month.
