Justin Timberlake to Open Restaurant Hell
MTV reports that pretty pop star Justin Timberlake is behind forthcoming Upper East Side restaurant Destino's, which he'll co-own with Eytan Sugarman, the man responsible for Suede and Cherry Lounge (both of which Sugarman opened with hip-hop producer Timbaland). PR is being handled by Lizzie Grubman, and chef Mario Curko (formerly of Rao's) will be in the kitchen, where he'll do his best to help diners forget they're eating anywhere near the aforementioned individuals.
Given the roster of talent involved in the joint, we suspect Destino's dining room will resemble a casting call for Next, with tangerine-hued patrons spilling marinara sauce on their backless shirts. We can't wait, and neither can most of New Jersey.
