Tony York has been in and out of Hardin County’s restaurant business for more than 25 years. In 1985, he started working for Green Bamboo, and later he moved to Stone Hearth and Glendale’s The Depot before eventually taking ownership of the restaurant.
York said it was common practice in Hardin County restaurants to allow customers to bring alcohol in to drink with a meal if they asked.
“Nobody questioned the legality of it because it was never pursued,” he said.
