Pretenders singer to open vegetarian restaurant in Akron
AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chrissie Hynde will open a vegetarian restaurant in her hometown late this summer.
Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders, has decided to name the restaurant VegeTerranean. She will sing accompanied by an acoustic guitarist at a free concert at the grand opening of the restaurant on Sept. 15.
The restaurant will feature a blend of Mediterranean and vegetarian cuisine. No meat will be served.
Hynde lives in England but will partner with Dan Duplain, owner of Fedeli restaurant in downtown Canton, so that a local person will be involved permanently with the venture.
