The name Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern might conjure an image of a dimly lit gin joint, but in reality it belongs to a 15-unit upscale-casual chain with plans to open 50 more locations over the next five years.
Founder and president Gary Callicoat developed Columbus, Ohio-based Rusty Bucket in 2002 while working as a general manager for his mentor, multiconcept operator Cameron Mitchell.
