Tiger Mural Approved for Loro

Loro, the new Asian barbecue restaurant by James Beard Award-winning chefs Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue and Tyson Cole of Uchi, recently opened on the west side of Montfort Drive. At its January 10 meeting, the City Council approved an 8-foot-tall and 10-foot-wide mural of a tiger on a portion of the east façade of the newly constructed building.

The tiger represents the concept's Asian-inspired cuisine while the smoke surrounding the tiger represents the smoked food offerings. The color palette of the mural is consistent with Loro's branding. The final design will not include the beverage pictured in the rendering.
