The restaurant world may not be having its best season but one celebrity restaurateur is ready to expand. People Magazine reports that Eva Longoria Parker is taking her Beso restaurant concept to Las Veas. Beso Las Vegas will open on New Year's Eve 2010 with an event hosted by Longoria Parker. The exact venue is still under construction but the menu will resemble Beso Hollywood with items like Eva's tortilla soup and chili rubbed skirt steak on the menu.

Longoria Parker and her business partner celebrity chef Todd English (who already has a version of his signature restaurant Olives in Las Vegas) plan to make the Las Vegas version a little different with a variety of specials and drinks and an upstairs lounge called Eve. Las Vegas is a smart move for a burgeoning restaurant chain, Although tourism is down in Las Vegas, the city still brings in hungry tourists looking for a special experience. Tao Las Vegas has topped the list of highest grossing independent restaurants for several years.

Longoria Parker is also planning a series of smaller airport versions called Besitos (little kisses in Spanish). The first one will be in Los Angeles. English can guide her there too, his Bonfire restaurant has outposts in both Boston's Logan Airport and New York City's JFK Airport.

I really hope these new ventures are successful.

She looks like somebody just "goosed" her in that photo. I bet she's standing on a box to get that high up. If her food isn't anybetter than her acting she 's in trouble.

You sound like you are a "Perfect person". At least she has put herself in a position to try new venture's. If YOU Sir do not like her acting, then don't watch. If YOU SIr are going to go visit her new eatery, then and only then can you pass judgement...If YOU sir had 1/10 of her ability then YOU would be out doing something constructive with your life instead of making sarcastic comments. Now get back in your cabin, close the door, coz im sure the stench is overwhelming..

If I knew the Spanish word for Jackass I would be saying that is what you are. How dare you insult our Eva like that. She will be successful and both she and her husband do a lot for the community. I'm sure you have pissed off a lot of people in S.A.
On her side in San Antonio, Texas

You loser, why don't you do some research before looking like the idiot you are? She's one of the main characters of the HUGELY popular TV series 'Desperate Housewives."

What rock do you live under???

You loser, her name is EVA (as stated many times in this article). She is one of the main characters in the hugely popular TV series 'Desperate Housewives.'

What rock do you live under, and why don't people like you ever figure out how to use Google before wearing your ignorance on your sleeves??

Even more important, why do people like you assume that if you haven't heard of someone, they must not be popular? Who gave you such self-righteous power? Get over yourself!
