Blue Moon chef-owner joins new Bellbrook restaurant
Restaurant news that is NOT Restaurant Week related: here’s a story we posted this afternoon (7-29-08) on the newspaper’s web site …
Greg Fitzgerald, former chef-owner of the Blue Moon and most recently the executive chef at Madison’s Bistro, has been named executive chef at Amelia’s Bistro, a new restaurant scheduled to open in mid-August at 129 W. Franklin St. in Bellbrook.
Amelia’s, owned by Sugarcreek Twp. Realtor Sharon Bistrek, is scheduled to open on Aug. 12 at the former Garstka’s Tuscany Grille, Bistrek and Fitzgerald said. It will be open for breakfast and lunch only for the first couple of weeks, then will add dinner hours.
Bistrek described the cuisine as “gourmet comfort food.” She and Fitzgerald said the restaurant will work closely with local growers to include local produce and meats into the restaurant’s dishes.
Bistrek originally had hired Candace Rinke of Springboro as executive chef, but the two parted ways due to a misunderstanding, the restaurant owner said. She then hired Fitzgerald, who owned and operated the Blue Moon in Dayton and Eclipse in Centerville until early 2007. For the past year, he served as executive chef at Madison’s Bistro in Washington Twp.
When it is up and fully operating, Amelia’s Bistro will be open six days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It will be closed Monday. The phone number will be (937) 310-3040
