2 Garces restaurants in Philly to close after sale

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A buyer has acquired the restaurant group owned by Philadelphia's own Iron Chef Jose Garces.

Ballard Brands and local investor David Maser have agreed to buy the majority Garces' empire for $8-million.

Two Philadelphia restaurants, 24 and Garces Trading Company, will close this weekend as part of the process.

Garces filed for bankruptcy last month.
