Zach Braff: The Mermaid Inn
Zach Braff owns not one, not two, but 4 branches of his original successful northeastern-inspired seafood restaurants. This NYC-based restaurant sources all of its ingredients from the dish's places of origin, like lobsters from Maine, oysters from the Delaware Bay, and potatoes from PEI in Canada.
As The Mermaid Inn expands, so does Braff’s involvement, calling on the former Hollywood star to get creative and try new things behind the scenes. Although Braff owns these seafood restaurants, he’s notoriously picky about what he wants to go on the menu. If an ingredient gets the Braff stamp of approval, it has to be good.
