Tucker said that he is opening Bleu after gaining experience in the food industry.

“I’ve been in the industry for 15 years and I was just ready to do my own thing.”

Grill One-5 closing Saturday, June 28

Grill One-5, a hometown, downtown watering hole, closes its doors Saturday, June 28 after nearly a decade, according to owner Mike Reilly.

Business has fallen recently, and there’s simply not enough volume to sustain the restaurant, run by Reilly and his wife, Stacia. The couple had been personally subsidizing Grill One-5 lately.

The restaurant, located on South Sixth street, will close its doors Saturday, well, at 2 a.m. Sunday, June 29, 2008.
