GDBRO has been able to position itself as a fast casual burger concept with little-to-no outsourced marketing. With the birth of its Orange County Food Truck and competing on the Food Network’s Amazing Food Truck Race, GDBRO has created an early cult following and evolution due in part to an organic word of mouth and social media awareness.
