John Daly is an American institution. The hard drinking, chain smoking PGA legend has lent his name to an eponymous beverage, the ‘Arnold Palmer’ spiked with vodka. Now John Daly’s stepping his game up even further and opening a line of bro-as-fuck steakhouses that will carry the name John Daly’s.
According to TFM 10 of the steakhouses are set to open throughout the nation over the course of the next five years, with the first one opening up in Conway, Arkansas….Because why the fuck not?
The Arkansas Democrat‑Gazette reports:
A steakhouse bearing the name of a professional golfer with Arkansas roots is set to be part of a downtown Conway building’s revival.
John Daly’s, a new 5,000-square-foot restaurant featuring memorabilia and signature menu items from the PGA Tour golfer of the same name, will be on the first floor of a building at 912 Front St., project CEO Sam McFadin said.
“It’s going to resemble John’s ideas and what he envisioned as a steakhouse,” McFadin said, adding that Daly’s steak recipe and the John Daly, a drink described as “lemon sweet tea with a kick,” will be on the menu.
McFadin said the restaurant will display Daly’s accolades on rotation at times during the year. Daly will also make five appearances each year at the Conway restaurant, which is scheduled to open next year, McFadin said.
The flagship Conway location is considered the launch of multiple restaurants, McFadin said. Ten locations in five years is the plan, he said, adding that developers are looking at Dickson Street in Fayetteville as their next location.
Daly was born in Carmichael, Calif., though he developed Arkansas ties when he lived in Dardanelle during a portion of his childhood and in Fayetteville as a college student at the University of Arkansas.
I’d drop some serious coin at a John Daly steakhouse. That man’s American as fuck, and I’ll happily toss money his way any day when steak’s involved. I can only hope that’ll be opening up a location in Southwest Florida (specifically in the greater Tampa Bay area), so I don’t have to take a road trip just to experience the decadence of a John Daly steakhouse.
