In today's face palm news, actress Jessica Biel will be opening a restaurant that she deems the "Soho House for kids." The uber-exclusive, all organic restaurant will be located inside the former Smoke steakhouse space on Melrose in West Hollywood.
Biel and her husband were criticized a few years back for showing a video that poked fun at L.A.'s homeless people at their wedding, and this move only further pushes her into the yuppie scum category.
According to Toddrickallen, the restaurant will be opening sometime between February and April of next year.
The organic-cuisine focused restaurant will be called Au Fudge, and even though it's a kids' restaurant there will be a full 47 liquor license, according to Eater LA.
You can rest assured that the rug rat clientele will most certainly be better dressed than you are. Not that you could get in to see them, of course.
