Maybe we can find a partner among our fans.

“Lowbrow” in Filipino means “pang-masa.” We like to make food that most people love to eat. We like to open in malls. We try to stretch our concepts a bit outside the norms. Our brands:

• Bad Bird (multiple locations)
• Fowlbread
• Flowerboy in The Grid
• Thank You Seafood
• Previously: Wrong Ramen and Hole in the Wall

The Lowbrow Way

• We only do original concepts.
• We do “upscale casual” space because it offers accessibility and healthy margins.
• We like high-quality with few choices.
• We don’t outsource design and product R&D. We like inventing.
• We avoid promos.
• We build original concepts that don’t fit into typical categories. Or if we’ll enter a category, we aim to be number one.
• We try to find a balance between critics (the people who like tasting menus) and the mass market (the people who like buffets).
• We’re openly demanding of our people. We enforce high standards and we run a tight ship.
