Vinny Laresca To Open Outpost Restaurant in Hollywood

Vinny Laresca, the actor turned club owner responsible for scene-y nighttime haunts such as Villa and Premiere, is putting the bottle down and pick up the fork. Remember Bar Delux on Cahuenga which, two summers ago, reopened as Atlantic Bar & Grill? Prior intel had indicated that Betty Fraser and Denise DeCarlo of Grub were considering this location, but the proof is in the pudding according to this here ABC post. Laresca is now in control of the space with the intent to open an eating establishment titled Outpost Restaurant, according to the DBA. Can one expect a club? A restaurant? A clestaurant? Remains to be seen. [EaterWire]
