ROBERT DE NIRO IS GETTING INTO THE FOOD BUSINESS
Robert De Niro wants to follow in the footsteps of another Oscar winner, Paul Newman, and branch out from movies to meatballs! With 5 hotels and nearly 50 restaurants in his empire – including numerous locations of Nobu, plus the famed Tribeca Grill, Robert has proven himself in the culinary world. Now he wants to expand his empire to grocery shelves. Robert and his partners are developing a line of products based on their successful restaurants. Imagine soy sauce from Nobu, pasta sauce from his now defunct Ago in Los Angeles, and the spaetzle from Tribeca Grill, available in your local supermarket! We wonder if De Niro’s photo will be on every package…

Val Kilmer seems to be getting more eccentric than Keanu Reeves. He showed up at Nobu alone, wearing a plaid shirt, work boots, and a scruffy beard. “He looked like a lumberjack” remarked an eyewitness. He dumped his big sloppy black bag on the chair next to him and greeted the waiters exhuberantly. The hefty actor ate lightly – sushi and a drink – and very quietly. He seemed puzzled with his bill and called the waiter over for a conference. The waiter sat down and helped Val calculate his tip. Suddenly Val got up and abruptly ran out the door. The startled waiter just looked at the door and shrugged “OK, see ya next time!” The whole restaurant could hear the racing sounds of Val’s muffler as he exited the parking lot .
