6 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were Restaurant Owners
What do Dino Morea and Sachin Tendulkar have in common? They're both foodies and are in the restaurant business. Here are six celebrities you didn't know own restaurants.
1. Dino Morea owns not one but multiple restaurants — the Crepe Station Cafe chain and the Elbo Room. Morea's favourite space in the house is his kitchen and he loves making his green smoothies and healthy meals himself. So it comes to no surprise that he turned his passion for food into a successful business.
Me in one of my favorite spaces in my home. My Kitchen. A peek into my space.

2. The legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar not only dominated stadiums across the globe but also got the opportunity to taste delicacies from all over. He is a food adventurer and brought his favourite dishes to India. He owned and lost a few restaurants (Sachins and Tendulkars) in Mumbai and Bangalore.

This place is famous among celebrities like Channing Tatum who threw his birthday bash at Souther Hospitality BBQ.
5. Mark Wahlberg of the Ted movies is the owner of Wahlburgers. It's a franchise burger joint that also sells Wahlcoctions, signature alcoholic beverages, across U.S. and Canada. The Wahlberg brothers also have a reality show documenting their restaurant business.
