B. Michael Patrick, a popular Memphis chef, will open his new restaurant, Magnolia Bend Grill, at the site of the old Bonne Terre in Nesbit, Mississippi. He’s slated to open the restaurant, which was previously BT Prime Steakhouse, on September 23rd.
Patrick was chef/owner of Rizzo’s Diner, a popular South Main eatery that he closed in March 2022. Rizzo then went to work as executive chef/partner at The Capital Grille.
“BT Prime, the old restaurant, was a steakhouse,” says Patrick, who plans to continue to selling steaks. But, he says, “It’s going to be that elevated comfort food I’ve always done.”
Asked why he wanted to open another restaurant, Patrick says, “I moved to Southaven last year.” And, he adds, “I want to be a part of the community again.”
