I was watching a Saturday morning movie on basic cable and was interrupted by commercial after commercial featuring Serena Williams' clothing line and that new Nintendo DS gadget that lets you "play guitar." Maybe it was the 10 minutes of that Orange County Wives that soured me but it also might have been the week in Houston where malls ran into malls and Maggianos ran into Gran Lux and into the Chocolate Factory. I'm sure the menus run into each other as much as the wait-staff do. And they all go shopping on their days off.
I worry that what has happened in Houston could and will happen in Chicago. We've always had sports stars open restaurants – Chris Chelios and Ditka's not to mention Jordan's but they've always started car dealerships too.
