Rolling Stone Restaurant Due in LA

Another Rolling Stone is set to follow Bill Wyman into the restaurant trade. Not a former band mate, but the Magazine.  Wyman started his Sticky Fingers franchise in 1989. According to the LA Times, a Rolling Stone Restaurant and night club is on the drawing board for Hollywood.  A  head to head battle with the Hard Rock Cafe franchise for live concerts and memorabilia is not in the offing according the the magazine, which suggests it has plans for a posher eating and drinking establishment.  It might start out that way, but survival in the hyper competitive restaurant biz may depend on the magazine's willingness to make full use of its leverage with bands to its advantage, which could lead to one loud food fight.
