Eat Wit Yo Eyez is a ghost kitchen at Lombrano Food Hall<\/a>, a restaurant co-op. Some customers order online or get their food delivered through UberEats, GrubHub or DoorDash.<\/p>\n Others place orders inside the food hall on a touchscreen kiosk. But no one is allowed to peek or enter behind a wall where 21 kitchens and a drink station operate.<\/p>\n Adding to the mystery: Lombrano Food Hall sits in a hard-to-find spot off a small road in an industrial complex near Interstate 10 and North Brazos Street.<\/p>\n The seclusion notwithstanding, Eat Wit Yo Eyez cooks up a pretty good crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWednesday is our busiest night of the week,\u201d Brady said. \u201cIt used to be our slowest. We asked ourselves, \u2018What can we do to turn this around?\u2019 So we started selling wings for a dollar.\u201d<\/p>\n One dollar wings might attract a crowd. But can a business turn a profit on bargain-priced chicken?<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t lose money,\u201d Brady said. \u201cPeople say, \u2018$1 wings? Okay, we\u2019ll get 20 or 40 of them.\u2019 People end up buying more. We might have to do more work that day to meet our profit goal because people order more than they normally would.\u201d<\/p>\n Brady and his wife Teresa Brady share space with kitchens that serve a variety of fare, among them Noods Mexican-Asian Fusion, Taco Street, Hawaiian Bros, Marcos Pizza, Blissful Thai Cuisine and Mad Burgers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all look out for each other,\u201d Marcel said. \u201cIf I need something, I can ask another kitchen, and if they need something, they can ask us. It works out.\u201d<\/p>\n Marcel developed his chops at <\/a>\u00a0Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts<\/a> in Boulder, Colorado. He and Teresa built a following selling wings and seafood from a truck at since-closed Bentley\u2019s Bar on Broadway. Customers enjoyed the cajun flavors. Marcel prided himself on the plating.\u00a0<\/p>\n Presentation, he says, is important. The food has to look good. Hence the name, Eat Wit Yo Eyez.<\/p>\n Two years ago, a fellow chef invited the Bradys to share space at Lombrano Food Hall. The good news was moving into a larger kitchen. The odd news was placing orders in to-go bags and setting them inside a locker for pickup.<\/p>\n How could customers eat with their eyes if they couldn\u2019t see the food?<\/p>\n Regulars followed the Bradys from Bentley\u2019s to Lombrano Food Hall. Marcel posted photos and creative videos on social media. New customers took to the wings and seafood. Business grew.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are loving the flavors, the techniques we use to make the food delicious and definitely the presentation,\u201d said Teresa, the sous chef. \u201cIt\u2019s something they don\u2019t normally have here in San Antonio.\u201d<\/p>\n To promote Eat Wit Yo Eyez, Marcel creates videos for the kitchen\u2019s 24,000-plus followers on TikTok<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n In one video, he delivers an order of wings to workers on high-rise scaffolding overlooking downtown. In another, he hands steaming wings to an officer at an airport security checkpoint. In a third, a patrolman pulls him over only to be given a box of hot wings.<\/p>\n \u201cTell you what,\u201d the officer says, \u201cI\u2019m gonna give you a warning. Hit that blinker next time.\u201d<\/p>\n A large measure of creativity and hustle is required to market an invisible kitchen.<\/p>\n \u201cI do a lot of social media,\u201d Marcel said. \u201cWe go to events and pass out flyers. We do a lot of walking to push and market our brand.\u201d<\/p>\n Lombrano Food Hall has four picnic tables. On a recent Wednesday, only two were occupied.\u00a0<\/p>\n A couple ate a platter of wings at one table. A family of five ate chicken at another. Most customers grabbed their food to go. The most popular order? The $1 wings.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m an accredited chef,\u201d Brady said. \u201cI care about recipes and sauces, every detail down to the batter on our chicken and fish and how they are seasoned. We try to make sure you can\u2019t get anything else like it in the city.\u201d <\/p>\n \t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EatWitYoEyez_LombranoFoodHall_GhostKitchen_UberEatsDoorDashGrubHub_OrderFoodDelivery_07_11.14.2025_A.jpeg\")
