With lyrics referencing “filets with the truffle butter”, “scallops and glasses of Dolce”, and legendary sushi spot Nobu, Drake‘s a bit of a foodie. Now, according to BlogTO (via SPIN), the rapper has officially entered the restaurant business with Fring’s, a new spot located at 455 King West St. in his native Toronto that celebrated its grand opening last night.
According to BlogTO, Drizzy has partnered up with chef Susur Lee, of the restaurants Lee, Bent, and Luckee, and past contestant on “Iron Chef” and “Top Chef Masters”, on the venture.
Apart from a promotional Vine (watch it below), Drake’s yet to offer a statement on the new space, although BlogTO reports that he was in attendance at the grand opening and even performed a DJ set. (Serena Williams and Jaden Smith also showed up.) Lee, meanwhile, has posted a funny self-portrait to Instagram against a “Hotline Bling” backdrop with the appropriate caption “Hotline Fring”.
In other Drake news, footage has surfaced of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra performing “Know Yourself” from last night’s 2015 Polaris Music Prize Gala. Check it out below.
