Onetime Drake is going into the restaurant business. The rapper has teamed with star chef Susur Lee to open Fring’s on Toronto’s hopping King West nightlife strip. “The two-level supper club is stylishly decorated (think reclaimed wood, plastic hanger chandeliers over the bar and a basement level that includes a private back entrance), with a DJ booth, leather and velvet banquets and even a side patio,” reports Canuck style site The Kit. No word on whether it’s available for bar mitzvahs.
