Last night celebrity chef/restauranteur Todd English and actress Eva Longoria celebrated the opening of their new restaurant Beso. The restaurant has been in the works for some time, and Eva has been involved in every level including the menu. In fact, she has even contributed recipes to the menu. Two of the house specialties are Eva's guacamole and her tortilla soup. She says:

I make the best guacamole in the world. And my tortilla soup . . . I am renowned for.

If you're curious to try Eva's tortilla soup, but can't quite make it to Beso then make it at home. Get the recipe, just read more

Looks like the writers' strike will be providing Eva Longoria with a little extra time to dedicate to her new venture. The Desperate Housewives star is currently finalizing plans for her new restaurant, BESO.

Located in Hollywood, BESO is a partnership with celebrity chef Todd English. However, Eva wants to make sure that you know she's really involved. Here's more:

"I'm so involved, I picked the uniforms," she said. "A lot of these are my recipes. We've developed a really fun menu."

The restaurant, which is scheduled to open in mid-December, recently hosted the Blackjack II launch party. Check out the gallery for a few of the interior pics. According to geeksugar, the place is massive.

So what do you guys think? I'm personally interested to see what the menu will be like. Todd English has a pretty impressive list of restaurants under his belt, but how well does he know Mexican food? I guess only time will tell.
