Selena Gomez is an Emmy-nominated actress and Grammy-nominated musician. She's also shown off her culinary skills with her home cooking show Selena + Chef (which was nominated for a Daytime Emmy, we might add). Now she's taking her cooking skills outside of her home kitchen in Selena + Restaurant.
"After cooking mostly virtually from my kitchen with some of the best chefs for the last four years, I was thrilled to step into their world," Gomez said in a statement. "You'll have to see if being in person helped my skills at all."
