Jonathan Cheban Turns Restauranteur: Kim Kardashian's BFF To Open Two Restaurants In Miami And New York

Jonathan Cheban will reportedly soon be the proud owner of not one, but two, new restaurants.

Although Cheban has always considered himself a "foodie," the best friend of Kim Kardashian will soon go from consumer to restaurant owner, as he embarks on an exciting new business venture.

"The first one I'm doing is, Sushi Couture, I'm opening it on Ocean Drive in Miami outside The Victor Hotel in about two months," Cheban revealed to Us Weekly. "The other place is called Burger Bandit, and the first will be in Lynbrook, Long Island. We are opening that in July and it will become a franchise."

As Cheban plans for the upcoming openings of his two restaurants, his longtime best friend, Kardashian, is planning for the May 24 wedding between herself and Kanye West. The wedding, which will take place in Paris, France, will reportedly be an intimate affair with just over 100 guests, Cheban included.

Since Kardashian and West began their relationship, Cheban has gotten close to West and respects him as a business man. In fact, Cheban is a huge fan of West's attention to detail and desire for top-of-the-line products and has taken that into account as he plots out his new businesses.

"I am the Kanye West of food," Cheban explained. "Everything is perfect and top notch. Nobody can match me with knowing about food."

After opening the two restaurants, Cheban will get a bit of a break as he travels to the Hamptons, where he, along with Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian, will be filming the latest Keeping Up With The Kardashians spinoff, Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons.
