Food Network personalities Patrick and Gina Neely announced on Facebook Monday that their pair of Memphis restaurants will remain closed “indefinitely." 

Neely’s Bar-B-Cue abruptly shut down the restaurants last fall, citing the need to renovate and regroup. “We’re gone so much and involved in so many projects that it’s been really difficult to concentrate on the restaurants here like we need to,” Gina Neely told Commercial Appeal.
