Stanley Eisen and Chaim Witz are behind a new chain restaurant in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Who cares, you say?
Eisen and Witz are better known as Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of Kiss, and Rock & Brews is the brand they co-founded and own. Oh, sorry — it’s “an energized dining and entertainment concept offering affordable, high quality American comfort food,” according to the company’s spiel.
Rock & Brews boasts 15 locations in the U.S. and Mexico.
