Mesquite-kissed steaks, cevichería, and polished cocktails
"Opened in 2007 as a Spanish-inspired spot, it quickly garnered long wait times and heaps of press and helped establish John Gorham as a champion of small-plate dining that blends Spanish and Mediterranean cuisines; amid his recent threatening and transphobic Facebook posts he is stepping away from operations and plans to transfer his shares to his wife Renee, who will take over, and the episode has prompted apologies, employee departures, and promises to strengthen racial-equity training." - Alex Frane
"I noted that John and Renee Gorham’s Toro Bravo has partially reopened with takeout, delivery, or pre-orders as they resume some operations." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"I mentioned that Toro Bravo was among the restaurants reserving free meals for healthcare workers." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"This cookbook dives deep into the earnest past of Toro Bravo and its owner John Gorham, tracing his story from childhood to the restaurant’s opening and providing 95 recipes for readers to follow along at home." - Samantha Bakall
"As one of the participating restaurants, Toro Bravo partnered with Stone Soup to help feed residents of the city's new temporary homeless shelters." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
