GLENN HUGHES and JOE LYNN TURNER join musicians at new rock-themed restaurant, THE KITCHEN
Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple/Black Sabbath) and Joe Lynn Turner (Deep Purple/Rainbow) will be at the Grand Opening of "The Kitchen" at The Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

They will be part of a star-studded roster of musicians celebrating the grand opening of the Hard Rock Hotel's newest eatery, The Kitchen. Turner and Hughes will join members of Sugar Ray and NSYNC, The Fixx, Lita Ford, Sammy Hagar and other rock/pop luminaries at the 2 day event that kicks off with an artist party on Wednesday, October 29th and the official "debut" of the restaurant on Thursday, October 30th, 2003.

The Kitchen is the hotel's newly redesigned full-service restaurant (formally The Sunset Grill). Taking on the appearance of the spacious kitchen in a rock megastar's mansion, The Kitchen's walls are adorned with culinary-themed memorabilia from the Hard Rock Hotel's many celebrity guests. Visiting rock stars often perform cooking demonstrations of their favorite dishes at the Chef's Table and afterward their personalized cooking apparel is immortalized on the restaurant's "Apron Wall."


Turner has already volunteered to cook his Meat Sauce for pasta recipe that is a family tradition and will also appear in the forthcoming Food That Rocks celebrity cookbook. The cookbook, authored by chef/food writer Margie Lapanja and Cindy Coverdale (wife of Whitesnake singer, David Coverdale), features recipes from various rock and pop musicians' own personal collections.
