Albert and Deidre Pujols to Open Restaurant 

6.1.06

Albert Pujols took the next logical step in the life of a St. Louis sports legend today, announcing the opening of his first restaurant at Patrick’s in Westport Plaza.

Patrick’s will be transformed beginning next week, scheduled to reopen as "Pujols 5" in early August. When finished, the 500-seat restaurant will feature 30 plasma screens with the capability of showing up to 12 sporting events simultaneously. Each table will be outfitted with a wireless speaker so patrons can choose which event they hear.

Parts of the menu have been redesigned by a former Neiman Marcus executive chef, with final approval given by Pujols and his wife, Deidre.
