Toby Keith Breaks Ground On New Restaurant
How did Toby Keith end up in the restaurant business again? He said he didn't put his money behind it, but "they made me an offer I couldn't understand." Keith said some people in Las Vegas wanted to build a big "Toby Keith's 'I Love This Bar and Grill,'" and he and they came to an understanding about building the first five. Keith said ground has already been broken for the one in Las Vegas. Keith had only a couple of demands. He said he told them "the food couldn't suck -- all those theme restaurants, the food sucks." Keith added he told his partners, "We gotta have great food." Keith said the restaurant would have an atmosphere he approves of. "It's going to be John Wayne meets Captain America," he said. Construction has begun on the Las Vegas restaurant and locations are planned for Kansas City, Mo.; Oklahoma City; Shreveport, La., and Council Bluffs, Iowa.
