Kanye West Rumored To Open Restaurant In California, Inspired By His Late Mother

Rumor has it, Kanye West is extending his portfolio to restaurant owner. Mr. West has been shopping around the Calabasas area, looking for spaces to house his new venture, according to reports. While the restaurant has yet to conceive a name, the menu is said to be inspired by the food his mother -Donda West- cooked when they lived in Chicago.

Many might be curious where West might have gotten the idea to open a restaurant from. It said to be from rap colleague, Nas who owns Sweet Chick in New York and Los Angeles.

West has dabbled in the restaurant industry before. In 2008, the fashion designer launched his company KW Foods, LLC and purchased the rights to the Fatburger food chain in Chicago. With plans to open at
least 10 locations, only three got to see the light of day. According to reports, by 2009, all three were eventually shut down.
