Inside Beso |
Say Hello To BesoBeso Restaurant Opens Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Unless you’re Tony Parker, the closest most of us mere mortals will get to Eva Longoria is Beso. And, no, we’re not talking tongue games (beso means kiss in Spanish); we mean the name of her new Hollywood hotspot with celebrity chef Todd English. At the swanky two-story eatery, Eva has done more than just look pretty. Yes, she’s had a say in the uniforms, but she’s also provided a few of the Longoria family’s favorite recipes, like the one for their homemade tortilla soup. Other highlights on the Latin-influenced menu include Paella with Lobster and Chorizo and Scallops with Braised Oxtail and Risotto Cakes. Those looking to get their fiesta on will appreciate the “adults-only” juice bar featuring exotic fruits. Likewise, the selection of tapas for sharing and the full ceviche bar both provide requisite happy hour fuel. Sexy crocodile booths and crystal chandeliers make this spot ideal for cozying up to your own desperate housewife. And, the open kitchen ensures that you will get a peak at all of the action. Now that’s a Hollywood ending. |
