Robert De Niro owns this restaurant, but that’s it. He has no hand in any of the menu decisions or the decor. He simply is the principal investor.
Arnold Palmer: Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant
Before he passed away, Arnold Palmer designed a restaurant that had a menu of exactly what he liked to eat after a long day either at the beach or on the golf course. After he died, Arnold Palmer’s restaurant lived on in his image, showcasing the finest ingredients available in La Quinta, CA.
The menu is accessible and focused around good seafood and proteins from local areas. In addition to that, Palmer’s restaurant has a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options, all of which were on the menu when they first opened in 2009. Arnie was always ahead of the game in golf, and it seems like he was ahead of the game in food culture and sustainability, too.
Piper Perabo: Jack’s Wife Freda
Jack’s Wife Freda was opened in 2012 with a serious mishmash of ideas blending together into a perfectly Americanized menu. This restaurant serves South African Jewish Grandmother cuisine, hosting a serious list of unique spices and flavors that you wouldn’t find at the typical brunch and dinner bistro in Manhattan. Piper Perabo invested in this restaurant and named it after her grandmother, Freda, and her grandfather Jack.
