The restaurant business is stressful and it's hard to keep things going, even if you are a celebrity. There are many celebrities who have owned restaurants that ultimately failed. Remember Hulk Hogan's Pastamania!? It lasted at the Mall of America for about a year. Or Flav's Fried Chicken? Flavor Flav tried to bring the flavor with several different chicken ventures, all that failed after a short time. Eva Longoria's Las Vegas restaurant SHe and Nyla, Britney Spears' Cajun restaurant in midtown Manhattan had similar fates.
The latest celebrity spot to go down is Jessica Biel’s kid-friendly restaurant Au Fudge in Los Angeles, which has abruptly shuttered after just two years in business.
Au Fudge was a restaurant venture Biel launched in March 2016 with her business partners Estee Stanley, Joey Gonzalez, Kimberly Muller and Jonathan Rollo. It had a California-French menu and a playroom staffed with au pairs to watch kids as their parents enjoyed their dinner. It billed itself as a spot that was welcoming to kids and kids at heart.
“Thank you for so many years of support,” the Instagram announcement read over this weekend. “Tomorrow is our last day open at the restaurant, but more things to come from Au Fudge.”
Biel also commented on the news on her own Instagram. “While this is the end of an era, it’s also the beginning of a new chapter for @aufudge,” she wrote. “We are so very proud of the happy place we created for families and the community we were a part of.”
