Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin will be turning in his skates -- at least for an evening -- when he puts on an apron and assumes the role of guest chef at Mari Vanna, a Russian restaurant based in New York, according to Washington Business Journal.
On a restaurant profile of Mari Vanna, it reads, "Once upon a time in Moscow & St. Petersburg, a mythical woman named Mari Vanna welcomed diners into her home with open arms, feeding them traditional Russian fare on her finest china and linens."
Now, instead of Mari Vanna, it wil be the Caps' own Ovi teaching diners "what true Russian hospitality means."
But Ovi will not be the only celebrity at Mari Vanna. The restaurant, which began a "Who's the host?" series in which celebrities get to enjoy a change in roles and titles, also has scheduled Milla Jovovich, it is reported.
And the "hot spot" with "imperial opulence," Mari Vanna has not only attracted celebrity guest chefs, but has also attracted celebrity diners. Actor Nico Tortorella of the show "The Beautiful Life" celebrated his 21st birthday at the restaurant.
Ovechkin is expected to appear at the restaurant early next month, likely on September 8 or 9th. Sphere: Related Content
