On the subject of Beverly Boulevard's Buddha's Belly shutter, owner Jonathan Chu explains: "All of us have been working so hard towards a different outcome and I wish I had better news to report, but after trying valiantly, our initiatives we launched earlier this year were not game changing enough to keep the restaurant open. The truth is that Buddha's Belly has been facing headwinds for quite some time, including a turbulent economy, changing restaurant industry, rising costs and diminished margins." The restaurant will sign out on Friday. [EaterWire]
