"D. Wade" Coming To Key Largo

How did we miss the story of Miami's current favorite basketball player partnering with a local restaurant? Yes, Dwyane Wade apparently enjoyed his meal at Bucky's so much that he has decided to invest and help the two-restaurant chain expand in South Florida and Chicago, Wade's hometown.

The two are working together to open a restaurant in Key Largo, but it's going to be called D. Wade's. According to a Craigslist ad for a general manager, they're going to open in 2007. That seems a bit ambitious, given that there isn't much of 2007 left. But hey, maybe they'll be able to pull it together. Let's hope the restaurant business doesn't distract him from his on-court duties.
