In February 2013, Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria could add “restaurateur” to her LinkedIn profile.

Just over a year later, in May 2014, her “lady-friendly” Las Vegas steakhouse closed its doors for good. In late April 2014, it was shut down by the Health Department after receiving 21 demerits for health code violations.
