Tonight (Monday night) was Tuli Bistro's last night in business for the forseeable future, a source close to Tuli Bistro confirmed to Cowtown Eats.

Tuli, Chef Adam Pechal's first restaurant in Sacramento, opened in 2008, followed by Restaurant Thir13en in 2011. Restaurant Thir13en closed last month, but Chef Pechal announced last week that he would be teaming with the owner of Bar West and one of his former competitors from ABC cooking competition show The Taste to take over Crawdad's on Garden Highway.

The source, who was granted anonymity since this person was not authorized to discuss the restaurant's closing, said Chef Pechal may reopen Tuli in the same spot after finding new investors.

An e-mail this afternoon to a representative of Chef Pechal was not returned.
