Jay-Z’s Atlantic City 40/40 Club Closed For Good

(AllHipHop News) The $4 million dollar Atlantic City branch of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club is closed for good according to the Press of Atlantic City. The local publication reports that the upscale sports bar shut it’s doors back in October when its lease ended. That was the same month that Hurricane Sandy hit the Atlantic City area, and as a result the club experienced significant water damage. “There was a big hole in the roof as well,” stated the club’s spokesman Ron Berkowitz. “With the end of the lease and with Sandy, we decided we had a good run, and it was time to move on.” Since opening in October of 2005, the 40/40 Club had been become a major site in A.C. for hosting parties and events that catered to Hip-Hop crowds. Some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment like Beyoncé, Terrell Owens, and Nicki Minaj were seen at the venue. The Atlantic City 40/40 did receive some bad press in 2009 when video footage of bouncers allegedly beating two men outside the club surfaced online. DJ Fah D, who did a one year residency at the nightspot in 2011, told the Press of Atlantic City that the crowds at 40/40 decreased after the incident took place. While the Atlantic City 40/40 location will no longer be available the two New York City sites (West 25th Street in Manhattan, Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn) are still open. The Manhattan 40/40 recently underwent a $10 million dollar renovation, and its grand reopening in January of 2012 was a star-studded event attended by Spike Lee, Swizz Beatz, C.C. Sabathia, Selita Ebank, and billionaire investor Warren Buffet among others. There were also reports that 40/40 owners were working with the Delaware North Corporation to open satellite sites in airports across the country, but in 2012 their bid to open in Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport was denied.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Jay-Z Really Suing His Personal Chef Over A Chicken Wing Recipe?

Earlier this week, we reported on how Jay-Z is suing his personal chef, who was also the chef at his 40/40 club in NYC, for $1.5 million. According to the lawsuit, Mike Shand failed to perform significant aspects of his deal with the 40/40 Club, which called for him to spice up the menu for the club’s $10 million renovation earlier this year. But the lawsuit claims that the chef’s lack of performance cost the club lost profits, along with the alienation of its patrons. Well today, the NY Post is reporting that a chicken wing recipe is at the center of the lawsuit. Really, a chicken wing recipe? Check out what they reported today: One source tells us that Shand left “taking the recipes to popular menu items such as chicken wings, forcing the club to sue.” But we’re told Shand happily handed over all his recipes — except his spice mix. Shand’s lawyer Vik Pawar told us, “The spice-mix recipe that Mike developed is his own recipe. 40/40 terminated him, then had the audacity to sue him for his recipes. He gave them all apart from this spice mix because it is his own. Mike had a wonderful relationship with Jay-Z and Beyonce for many years.” It has to be more than just not giving up a chicken wing recipe. I tell you one thing, I hope Jay and Bey had a non-disclosure agreement with this chef. He was mighty close to the Carters, and I’m sure he has more than a few stories he could sell.
