The Grey

The Grey is an American and Southern restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is co-owned by John O. Morisano and Mashama Bailey, the latter of whom also serves as head chef. History Based in New York City, John O. Morisano moved to Savannah, Georgia, part time. While there, he bought a former Greyhound bus depot in downtown Savannah, which he had toured in March 2012. He bought the building in March 2013 for $945,000. The depot closed in 1964. When it was operating, the depot was racially segregated with separate waiting areas and restrooms for blacks and whites. Morisano planned to open a restaurant in the depot and was introduced to Mashama Bailey through Gabrielle Hamilton. At that time, Bailey was a sous chef at Hamilton's New York restaurant, Prune.
