Chef Kanye! Inside West's Secret Plan To Open Up His Own Restaurant
Look out, Gordon Ramsay! Kanye West is looking to bring his fiery talents into the food industry, by opening up his very own restaurant.
"Kanye's shopping for the ideal premises to create a flagship restaurant in Calabasas," a source told RadarOnline.com. "He has this vision of creating high-end comfort food just like his mom used to make – but with a price tag that's as eye-watering as it is mouth-watering, of course."
West wants to follow in the footsteps of fellow rapper-turned-restaurateur Nas, who went from being a rapper to a restaurant mogul, opening outlets of his fried chicken and cocktail bar Sweet Chick on both coasts.
"The New York locations are hipster havens, and the new LA outlet has become THE place to be seen among Hollywood's rappers," the source continued. "Kanye watched him build that business practically overnight and it lit a fire under him."
