If you plan on being in Las Vegas early next year, check out Nellie’s Southern Kitchen at the MGM Grand.
The restaurant will be the second one owned by the Jonas family. Yep, that Jonas family, as in the Jonas Brothers.
Kevin Jonas Sr. shared that this restaurant and the other one they opened in 2016 are both named after his grandmother, Nellie, who is the inspiration for the chain.
Jonas said his grandmother, who was from North Carolina, did a lot of “Southern cooking” and that “no matter where I went in the world, her chicken and dumplings – that was home”.
The menu at Nellie’s Southern Kitchen includes fried okra, chicken-fried steak, biscuits, fried chicken, pulled pork with a vinegar based bbq sauce, and several other “southern” food staples.
