Actor and cooking personality Jake Smollett, brother of actor siblings Jurnee and Jussie, is making his debut in the restaurant industry. He’s opening up an eatery, Jake’s Food Company, that will be located in the Corporation Food Hall in Los Angeles, Calif. If you like homestyle family meals, you may want to try out the spot as that’s the focus of his cuisine. The menu that will be served at the restaurant is inspired by the New Orleans roots of his mother Janet while also having a California coastal flair to it. 

Specific menu items you can expect to indulge in include seafood gumbo served with a signature blue crab fried rice, smoked gouda mac n’ cheese, fried fish, collard greens, savory cornbread doughnuts topped with a cheese butter, and don’t forget to end it with a bag of hot fried hand pies, beignet sticks and soft serve ice cream.

The restaurant opens in mid-October and visitors can come to the spot seven days a week.
