J-Lo Restaurant Now Out of Sight
Jennifer Lopez has shut down her mostly praised Pasadena restaurant Madre’s.
An ominous recent Variety headline–Movie stars enter risky eatery industry–merely noted the propensity of celebs to attach themselves to food ventures:
Wary of letting others control their investments, the latest wave of industry restaurateurs is taking its involvement a few steps deeper. Producer Gavin Polone traveled around testing waffle irons before launching Hollywood’s modern diner the Waffle in February. Eva Longoria Parker calls or texts her new restaurant Beso every day, even from the Cannes Film Festival, to check on the day’s receipts. And while juggling production duties on films such as “The Incredible Hulk,” Gale Anne Hurd spent nearly half her time launching Vertical Wine Bistro in Pasadena.
More on that here. And then there’s Crispy reader frida, who commented after attending what sounds like a wild opening at Boston celeburb spot Bokx 109.
