Many of your favorite celebrities have an additional talent you may not know about: restaurant ownership. Famous actors, musicians and other personalities have tried their hands at opening restaurants throughout the country. Stop at one of these spots.
Jon Bon Jovi owns two locations of his New Jersey restaurant, JBJ Soul. A third recently opened on the Rutgers University Newark campus. The non-profit restaurant is run by the Jon Bon Jovi Foundation and serves both paying and in-need diners. There are no prices on the menu, rather diners can pay a suggested donation, if possible. The menu boasts local and seasonal fare.
Remodeling and design experts Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s Fixer Upper own a breakfast and lunch restaurant in Waco, Texas. Magnolia Table offers homemade pastries, sandwiches, salads, soups and desserts. The menu changes seasonally. Additionally, there is a take away and market section if you’d rather take your meal to go.
This laid-back eatery in Senoia, Georgia, is co-owned by actor Norman Reedus. The restaurant is located near The Walking Dead filming locations. Many of Reedus’ follow cast and crew members dine here. Expect to see American classic dishes.
This bar and restaurant located on Bourbon Street in New Orleans is owned by actor and dancer Channing Tatum. The menu boasts indulgent southern dishes and an extensive cocktail list.
