Ha, ha, you totally fell for it. Emmitt Smith isn’t a chef! He’s a former football player. Sorry, “Pro Football Hall of Famer.”<\/p>\n

You don’t need to be a chef to open a restaurant, just as you don’t need to know how to run a back-shoulder fade to make a carrot pudding souffle.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Emmitt Smith is opening a 30,000-square-foot restaurant at a mall on the Las Vegas Strip. The name: Emmitt’s.<\/p>\n

Smith’s restaurant will be located in the Fashion Show Mall, to be specific, a fact the news release<\/a> announcing the project complete avoided mentioning. (Chatter is it wasn’t mentioned because the deal isn’t done-done yet. Bold move, Mr. Smith and friends.)<\/p>\n

Awkward, and we’re not even really sure why it’s awkward.<\/p>\n

NFL icon Emmitt Smith is about to make Fashion Show Mall a place we almost want to go!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, the news release did say, “This one-of-a-kind venue will hold large private and corporate events and will showcase Emmitt’s Pro Football Hall of Fame character and career throughout the locale.”<\/p>\n

Hey, we aren’t a current public relations person or news release writer, but it’s probably best to steer clear of phrases like “one-of-a-kind venue” when you’re talking about a sports-themed restaurant and bar that hosts private events.<\/p>\n

It’s currently difficult to walk 20 feet in Las Vegas without tripping over a sports-themed restaurant and bar that hosts private events.<\/p>\n

More deets from the news release (yes, people still say “deets,” mostly ironically): “Emmitt’s will offer a high-end, fine dining experience on the first level and a second level that will host a world-class, multi-function area called ‘The Deck,’ which can accommodate watch parties, live concerts, and other private and corporate events. This second level will also house ‘The Player’s Lounge,’ a luxurious viewing space to watch sports and events during the day with the ability to convert into Club 22 in the evenings as an exclusive Ultra Lounge.”<\/p>\n

Well, the whole thing sounds just great, despite the sports, and the rendering is certainly badass.<\/p>\n

Here’s a photo of some food from the official Emmitt’s Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apparently, sports greats opening venues in Las Vegas is a thing at the moment. Emmitt Smith’s announcement follows on the heels of Drew Brees<\/a> bringing Walk-On’s, another one-of-a-kind sports-themed restaurant and bar, to Harrah’s.<\/p>\n

Noted tennis player Blake Shelton is opening Ole Red at Bally’s as well.<\/p>\n

Oh, all right, so it’s not a huge trend, but you can bet there will be more.<\/p>\n

While we are not a sports person, Emmitt Smith has always seemed an affable fellow.<\/p>\n

While we know virtually nothing about his football career, we loved him on “Dancing With the Stars.”<\/p>\n

If Smith can “rock and shock” Vegas like he did the judges on “Dancing With the Stars,” his new restaurant and entertainment venue has a shot at being a home run.<\/p>\n

We know that’s not football. We are not an idiot. We do that to see if you read our stories or just skim them. You passed, thank you. (Football reference intended!)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
