South Park Creators Looking To Buy Casa Bonita

 

 

You may recall earlier this year that we reported on the infamous “Casa Bonita” restaurant in Colorado filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following complications after COVID-19 forced the location to close. Reports also note that the cleanliness of the restaurant and sub-par food were also contributing factors long before COVID-19 had even come about. Fortunately, it looks as though Summit Family Restaurants may get a savior in the form of South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

According to a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the dynamic South Park duo is interested in buying the restaurant, and re-launching with a revamped menu. It’s note a done deal yet, as even the parent company Summit Family Restaurants is attempting to re-open after repairs are done and a health inspection is completed.

For those that don’t know, the Casa Bonita restaurant is a popular locale in the world of Comedy Central’s longest-running animated sitcom having made frequent appearances in both the series as well as the game South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Because of the increased publicity of South Park, Casa Bonita has become a bit of a tourist destination for those looking to ride the tidal waves of…*checks notes” Lakewood, Colorado.

Synopsis

the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning, animated series, “South Park,” created by comic geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone, features the breathtakingly irreverent and ruthlessly funny misadventures of four foul-mouthed, troublemaking young boys in a small town nestled in the Colorado Rockies. It has been praised by the prestigious Peabody® committee as “COMEDY CENTRAL’s notoriously rude, undeniably fearless lampoon of all that is self-important and hypocritical in American life, regardless of race, creed, color or celebrity status.” We couldn’t agree more.
