Edobox Coming Soon To Santa Monica

Late last year I told you about the exit of popular burger joint Cowabunga Republic from it’s tiny spot at 2912 Main St. in Santa Monica. Now it looks like a new eatery is willing to give the space a go. A banner on the front is announcing that something called Edobox is on the way.  I’ve attempted to reach them but have so far been unsuccessful, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what will be on offer.

Update:  I heard from a number of readers on this restaurant who had sharper eyes than mine.  Here’s what it says on their FB page, “Design your own Bento Box at chef Makoto Okuwa’s fresh new fast-casual restaurant on Main Street in Santa Monica with breezy outdoor dining.”  Thanks to all who reached out to tell me…

Cowabunga Republic Wipes Out In Santa Monica

It appears that casual outdoor burger spot Cowabunga Republic has closed up shop at 2912 Main St. in Santa Monica.  The giant for lease sign on the front confirms the sad news.  Cowabunga Republic burst on the scene earlier this year with a lot of initial attention from locals.  I’m not sure what happened, but I’ll keep watching the unusual space to see what new venture may take a chance.
