California's
Huntington Beach Independent published an article in May on
KORN drummer
David Silveria's new filet and rib eye restaurant, which he plans to open in August.
Silveria says the high-end steakhouse he plans to open downtown will be named after himself — almost.
The second I in his name is silent, so he decided to drop it entirely when christening his new business venture. When the restaurant opens in August, the name out front will be
Silvera's Steakhouse.
That way, even the most pronunciation-challenged of carnivores will say the owner's name correctly.
In terms of décor and food quality,
Silveria and partners
Greg Carpenter and
Shane Hollinger (

"I didn't want to stop with a sushi bar,"
Silveria said. "There wasn't a high-end steak place here, so it seemed like a perfect match to start one."
Inspired by the famed Morton's of Chicago, a favorite of
Silveria's, the new 4,000-square-foot restaurant will feature high-backed booths and 1950s-era furnishings. The bar will have windows opening onto the patio and lounge, and vintage photographs of Huntington Beach on the walls.
