GBOD Hospitality Group

 GBOD Hospitality Group was founded in 2012 by brothers Raymond and Patrick Davoudi in San Diego with the opening of Mezé Greek Fusion in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. Building on the success of Mezé, the brothers engaged a new partner in hospitality veteran Joe Santos and set their sights on building a portfolio of dynamic hospitality brands. GBOD took over operations of Prohibition Lounge, an underground speakeasy at 548 Fifth Ave., in February 2017; and introduced two new concepts the same year: El Chingon Bad Ass Mexican, located at 560 Fifth Ave. and Havana 1920, located at 548 Fifth Ave. GBOD expanded to a new market for the first time with the opening of El Chingon Bad Ass Mexican and La Chingona, El Chingon’s private event space, in Fort Worth, Texas. In March 2023 GBOD acquired Little Italy dining destinations Bencotto Italian Kitchen and Monello. GBOD plans to continue introducing the company’s concepts to new markets, as well as developing new sister companies in related industries.
