Amazin’! Darryl Strawberry’s Restaurant Opens Next Week

We’ve been eagerly awaiting Darryl Strawberry’s second coming as a restaurateur, and now the Daily News reveals that Strawberry’s Sports Grill will open in Douglaston, Queens, next Thursday. The Straw Man says, “I might surprise people sometimes — come out and be the waiter,” and he may just have to do that because the restaurant, which has been hiring since at least March, is still cruising Craigslist for staffers. So where did Strawberry get the idea to open a restaurant? No, not from soup man Reggie Jackson: His buddy Eytan Sugarman of Southern Hospitality convinced him to partner on the project. The Daily News says to expect memorabilia like Strawbaw’s rookie jersey and his Shea Stadium locker, and menu items like crawfish and Cheddar hush puppies. The rest of the menu is below. Just don’t go asking for a strawberry-and-Coke float.
