ST. PETERSBURG

The Bullard Group is becoming the BayWalk group. Already operating Gratzzi Italian and Ammazza Pizza Cafe in the downtown entertainment complex, Bullard next will open Banbu, an Asian-themed restaurant in the space formerly occupied by Dish. Banbu, set to open in December, will use the Dish concept, but will be a bit more upscale, said Burton Bullard. At the same time, Bullard is holding a grand opening this week for its Matchstick Grill in Largo Mall and will convert a Ponderosa Steakhouse on Fourth Street N into another Matchstick next spring.
