I remember Joe Namath and his bar in NYC, when Joe left football the bar closed, I think Planet H is terrible food, yet I recall when Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Damne, and many more stars went to a series of openings around the world years ago. And I laughed, because I could NOT imagine them eating this yucky food.

I think Kenny Rogers chicken chain went belly up and a lot of stars who opened just one restaurant in Los Angeles, have found making a profit is a lot harder, once people have come Grand Opening week, and never come back.


Why is it "stars", movie, tv, singers, sports, feel it is necessary to open a dining place or a bar. Stick to what they are good at.
PS
I felt both the food and the service at Ketchup were so uneven, they should have closed before now. And it sucks that they owe money to many local vendors, plus they are not paying the rest of the lease. ]]>Sep 22nd 2009 1:25PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/22/dolce-group-closes-ketchup-restaurant-in-alabama/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/22/dolce-group-closes-ketchup-restaurant-in-alabama/Sep 22nd 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/22/dolce-group-closes-ketchup-restaurant-in-alabama/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/22/dolce-group-closes-ketchup-restaurant-in-alabama/Sep 22nd 2009 3:35PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2009/09/22/dolce-group-closes-ketchup-restaurant-in-alabama/http://www.luxist.com/2009/09/22/dolce-group-closes-ketchup-restaurant-in-alabama/Dec 2nd 2009 4:30PM
