The Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills caters to a high-rolling crowd, counting George Clooney and Adam Sandler among its regulars.
“On a daily basis, it’s the who’s who of Hollywood. We’re the commissary to the stars and agents,” said Phillip Gay, who runs a company that owns several restaurants, including the Grill.
Consequently, industry lunches and dinners contribute greatly to the Grill’s average annual revenue of $5.4 million. Although While Gay said the Beverly Hills eatery would be “fine” in the event of a strike, “I would not want to test that theory.”
Lately, he said, “I get up every morning and pray there isn’t a strike.”
