There seems to be a spate of celebrities starting their own restaurants these days. Recently, we read about Jessica Biel starting her own family style restaurant. We wish her all the success in the world. May the bar supplies be free flowing.
This restaurant is family friendly, but it also has elements of the upscale lifestyle. “We saw a hole in the marketplace for fine dining experiences that don’t exclude people who happen to have children,” says one of the partners involved with the venture.
But, as noted, it’s also stocked with bar supplies. There are great cocktails there so that the parents can have a moment away from their kids while getting in a martini or something a little stronger than diet Coke.
The produce and the meat is sourced locally, they get their foods from places all around the area. “I wanted to be able to go to a place that I could trust in terms of where they sourced their produce down to the chemicals they used to clean the tables.” It’s all about accountability for Biel.
Do you have a restaurant that was opened by a celebrity just down the way? Is the food fantastic, or just making it through on the appeal of being celebrity owned?
