The restaurant chains Bennigan's and Steak & Ale have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and will close all their company locations, a spokeswoman has confirmed.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the company owns and operates more than 300 locations, potentially putting thousands of people out of work. But a spokeswoman for Plano, Texas-based Metromedia Restaurant Group, which operates the restaurants, did not have specific numbers.
