The Jigga man is pumping major dough into his flagship 40/40 Club in NYC. He’s spending over $10 million to revamp the popular spot, including what’s on the menu. He’s so adament about the food in fact, he’s hired his personal chef to take over the kitchen!
Sources connected to Jay tell TMZ… Jigga has been VERY hands-on in the $10 million renovation of the first 40/40 Club in Manhattan — and felt the only way to guarantee the food would be up to his standards was to put personal chef, Mike Shand, in charge of the menu.
Shand — who’s been working for Jay for years — was appointed Executive Chef of the club and has already packed the menu full of Jay’s personal faves … including a Baja-style catfish.
Jay’s rep tells TMZ, “[Jay] knew that Mike would be able to improve upon the current menu in ways that had the Jay-Z seal of approval because many are dishes that he eats himself on a daily basis.”
