JT BRINGS SOUTHERN COMFORT TO NYC

You can’t say he lacks ambition.

He’s got the second-largest grossing concert tour of 2007, his own clothing line, his own record label, a super hot girlfriend, and now he’s opened up a soul food restaurant in New York City!

Along with the help of some old buddies, including business partner Trace Ayala and club operator Eytan Sugerman, pop entrepreneur Justin Timberlake was all smiles at the grand opening of Southern Hospitality in downtown Manhattan.

It supposedly offers the cooking of JT’s hometown, Memphis, even including some plates based on Timberlake family recipes.

Let’s just hope Justin has better luck in the restaurant biz than his ex-flame Britney Spears, whose Nyla was one of the all-time fiascos.

    “downtown” … i thought it was in the upper east side which would be uptown darling … This will be a huge flop, no self respecting manhattan resident would be caught dead at somewhere like this … it will only appeal to tourists from THE SOUTH!

    I hate when he wears these hats, they make his forehead look ginormous! Not that I would kick him out of bed or anything… :) I hope the restaurant does well. I think a lot of people like southern food, regardless of where they live. Also, his restaurant in LA has done well, so he hopefully knows enough of the right people to make this thing work. I’d eat there!

    Also, I give a shit. I cant stand when people make stupid mistakes like that. Especially when you are sitting at a computer, all you need is a quick trip to google or wikipedia, and you’d be all set. If you’re not sure of something, it takes seconds to look it up. It’s not that big a deal.

    I have plenty of words on urban dictionary- a lot of the shit is MADE UP. Using that site for a spelling reference is idiotic.

    Instead of putting down an entire region/culture why don’t some of you just say that you won’t go personally??? But to say that “no self-respecting Manhattan resident would be caught dead” @ a soul food restaurant is insulting. Heidi’s right, maybe you just don’t understand that a lot of people enjoy Southern food.

    It’s got nothing to do with ’soul food’ … no self respecting manhattan resident would be caught dead at a cheesy celebrity restaurant … perhaps in the mid-west or south it would work but not manhattan

    He’s about seventeen different kinds of greasy in that picture. I’m sick of him but I LOVE Seth Green. He’s too good for the ‘trouserworm’

    JT is just putting his name out there to get the word out, NYC will come as well, Eytan Sugerman has quite a reputation and Manhattan gravitas.

    And now, thanks to ‘me’, we know that folks from Manhattan are above the rest of us. So that concept only works in the south and mid-west???? Because at last check, I could’ve sworn there were several “cheesy” celebrity restaurants in L.A., too. Sounds like someone feels a little self-importance over living in Manhattan. The rest of us are not impressed.

    Considering that most Manhattanites are not originally from New York, It’s safe to say that they’ll be lining up for some Southern cuisine.
