Per People, Nellie's Southern Kitchen will open its doors in Las Vegas in early 2022. Owners Kevin Jonas Sr. and Denise Jonas are, of course, parents to pop superstars Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas, aka The Jonas Brothers. "When you walk in, we want you to find that Southern hospitality and comfort that my grandmother represented," Kevin Sr. gushed of their long-planned second location. Nellie's Las Vegas will be 11,000 square feet in size and situated in the District by the MGM Grand Garden Arena, but Kevin Sr. made it clear he intends to bring some hometown magic to the strip. "I grew up in my grandparents' home ... My grandmother would come home, covered in cotton after working in the cotton mill all day, and just start making us the most amazing food," he explained.

Southern staples including shrimp and grits populate the menu, the recipes for which have been passed down for generations. Kevin Sr.'s top picks are the chicken and dumplings and banana pudding, enthusing of their popularity with diners, "That makes me very happy because of all the things my grandmother made, those were the two that when I came home were waiting for me," he said, per Eater. Music is a key part of the experience in Nellie's too, with a small stage set up in Belmont and an even bigger one planned for Vegas. With any luck, the Jonas Brothers might pop by for an impromptu concert someday.
