Jon becomes a restaurant owener

[Rike]

IT'S official - the Blue Parrot, the beloved Tex-Mex joint in East Hampton, will reopen in May after being dark for two years. Ronald Perelman, Jon Bon Jovi and art dealer Larry Gagosian, who all own houses in the area, bought the lease last week from Lee Bieler, the Porsche-driving surfer/actor who owned the restaurant for 25 years before moving to Ha waii. "It'll have the same old honky-tonk vibe," said a source who loved the boite's potent margaritas and karaoke nights. "They won't modernize or go trendy." Perelman, who owns Revlon and Panavision, is also an investor in Graydon Carter's Monkey Bar.

OK, so ya'll know the in-laws are in the Hamptons. In fact, it's East Hampton. In fact, they're about 2 miles from the Bongiovis' beach house. In FACT, we drive past it all the time to get to Georgica Beach....

Wonder if I can talk the in-laws to trying this place when it launches again. HA HA! My FIL is in the propane business and does a lot of work with the restaurants out in that area. Perhaps his company would be contracted for the Parrot? Wonder if he needs an apprentice? lol

Mind you I'd prefer to do business with RSS
