I was thinking of famous people who didn't become famous for their food
originally. That leaves out Mario Batali and the Paula Deen types. I
didn't even know Michael Jordon had a steak restaurant. I am curious to
hear about what influences a celebrity has on the running of a
restaurant other than giving it their name?
