INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Jay Wilson was soaking up the moment as his restaurant was filling up with more and more customers during the lunch hour.
“We’re just blessed that we’re here,” he said. “We’re blessed that the community is supporting us and we just feel love from family and friends. Our reputation has maintained us so here we are and here they are.”
It’s a grand reopening that’s been more than a year in the making after a fire destroyed the Mississippi Belle Southern soul food restaurant in October 2019.
Wilson talked about some of the toughest moments on the road back to recovery.
