Rolling Stone to Open Theme Restaurant in Hollywood Tourist Trap

87974-004-93BDE03D.jpg
Yes, right next to a future Hard Rock Cafe, across the street from Hamburger Hamlet will be a Rolling Stone restaurant at the mall called Hollywood/Highland.

LAT reports:

Schenck agreed there were “cautionary tales out there” such as Planet Hollywood’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy and Playboy magazine’s shuttering of clubs across the country in the 1980s. But sports broadcaster ESPN apparently has been successful in its venture into food and beverage sales in its ESPN Zone sports-themed restaurants, and Schenck thinks his business can make restaurant profits too.

He doesn’t want to predict where the next Rolling Stone venue might be, though.

“Let’s just see how this works out.”

We guess if you don’t like the food then you will be anti-(the restaurant)establishment. Cough. Calorie counter-culture? Anyone? How about a Rolling Stone taco truck? Too hip?
