Operating owner Joshua Butts told The Baltimore Sun that he came aboard after being approached by Scott Sciandra, his partner in the venture and one of his friend’s father-in-law. Sciandra is a Howard County native who frequented T-Bonz and unsuccessfully tried to acquire it for several years. Butts, a hospitality industry veteran with more than a decade of experience in Maryland restaurants, said that he “fell in love” with the space at 4910 Waterloo Road soon after he first stepped in five months ago.
