Burbank Hires Tony Yanow to Lead Giant New Restaurant and Beer Compound | Eater LA

"I'm intrigued by plans underway for a tentative development called Burbank Common at 10 W. Magnolia Blvd., where the city is partnering with Tony Yanow and the greater Artisanal Brewers Collective to completely overhaul a corner near downtown Burbank and add multiple restaurant sites, a working brewery overseen by the ABC crew, and much, much more. The mixed-use property is pushing for more outdoor open space for lounging and dining while still finding room for a full-blown event venue and a standalone roller derby; it's Metrolink-adjacent and close to bike paths and bus lines. If it follows something like Culver City's Platform, expect dining at multiple levels—from sit-down spaces to casual grab-and-go spots and even food carts across the property—and the project could drastically reshape Downtown Burbank's restaurant scene, though it will likely take years to complete and may come online in phases. Given Yanow's years owning and operating Tony's Darts Away and the ABC's brewing experience, it's an exciting blank canvas to watch." - Farley Elliott
