Timberlake's 'Southern Hospitality'

Justin Timberlake's down home Memphis styled restaurant 'Southern Hospitality' has opened in New York City and if you don't live in NYC or don't plan on making a summertime trip to the Big Apple, here's a look at the inside of the newest celeb eatery. Now calling anything "Memphis style" is setting yourself up for failure (Memphis is ground zero for BBQ and the locals are fierce when it comes to ribs) but I'm dying to know if JT's new restaurant succeeds in bringing a little south to the mouths of New Yorkers. If you've been, fill me in on all thats fit (or unfit) to eat.

Hi restaurant Chi failed in LA, so if you're going to eat there, better hurry.

Yes this will do about the same as Britters NYLA restaurant. Why don't singers just stick to singing and actors to acting? They just set themselves up for failure. Stop trying to venture out.

I think these restaurants are getting old. Slapping a celebrity name to it. I think the only thing that would work is slapping on a world renowned chef's name. Not some actor or signer. haha

I went and what a nice time the food was great, the ribs are to die for, truly a good place to take the family and not a bad price too. must see to believe. and no it will not end up like that trailer trash Spears.
