Burlap Reopens As Searsucker Del Mar

Celebrity Chef Brian Malarkey has traded in the "Asian cowboy" concept for "new American cuisine" in Del Mar Highlands. Searsucker Del Mar, formerly Burlap, will open Wednesday evening to celebrate Opening Day at the races and the rebranding. 

“It’s really important to know that while Burlap was a fun, hip kind of wild spot, it kind of got away from being a restaurant,” James Brennan, the CEO of Enlightened Hospitality Group, told U-T San Diego in June. “With Searsucker, we’re going back to our mission. Searsucker is approachable and homey, and people like that.”

Burlap closed its doors on June 10.

The new Searsucker will host two seatings for a pre fixe dinner Wednesday night for $65. Doors open at 6 p.m.
