Border Grill

Keeping it all in the family, Mary Sue’s husband and Susan’s childhood friend, architect Josh Schweitzer, created the original designs of not only all of the Border Grill restaurants, but also the dishes, glassware, uniforms, and peppermills. The colorful murals are the work of artists Su Huntley and Donna Muir, inspired by the festivals, road signs, and advertisements of Mexico. Mirroring the chefs’ strong, bold take on Mexican street foods, the artists created an equally edgy and contemporary look: an urban cantina.
