'Restaurant: Impossible' Star Pappas Restaurant Will Close
Pappas Restaurant in Benicia will close for good Sunday.
A national TV spotlight wasn't enough to save one Benicia restaurant.
Pappas Restaurant, which got a makeover on the Food Network show "Restaurant: Impossible" last year, will shut its doors for good this weekend, the Benicia Herald reports.

The restaurant's final days will have the same hours as usual: Pappas will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
