Scott Disick walks away from restaurant venture

Reality TV star SCOTT DISICK has quit the restaurant business after cutting ties with the New York eatery he helped to launch in April (12).

Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend joined forces with pals Chris Reda and Jesse Camac to create RYU, a Japanese-style hotspot in Manhattan's trendy Meatpacking District, and was supported by his girlfriend and her famous family, including Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Kanye West, at the restaurant's grand opening.

However, they have struggled to win over critics with their menu and Disick has since pulled out of the business venture.

A representative for the Keeping Up With the Kardashians regular tells the New York Post, "He got out of the restaurant months ago. He has a bunch of other projects."
