Moby donates 100% of his profits to unionized animal rights organizations, and he continually likes to step out of the kitchen to talk to his customers about music, sustainability, and the ethics behind clean, vegan eating.
Lisa Vanderpump: Tom Tom
Vanderpump opened this restaurant for her two favorite industry bartenders, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz. The interior and bar menu are the focal points of this restaurant, combining the design ideas of Nick Alain and both Toms to create an otherworldly industrial vibe that is truly unlike any other bar in Los Angeles.
The cocktail menu is the crown jewel of this establishment, pairing the ideas of both Toms with those of world-famous mixologist, Sly Cosmopolous. Happy hour is the perfect time to visit this restaurant, with half-off cocktail deals and cheap, beautiful dishes made to share.
Michael Jordan: 1000 North
Michael Jordan doesn’t entirely own this restaurant, but he is the primary partner alongside developer Ira Fenton and former New York Giants quarterback, Tucker Fredrickson. The idea behind 1000 North was to give people pulling up to the docks an opportunity to forego the traditional marina dishes and eat something healthy.
