The Tiffany Network is going into the restaurant business with the launch of CBS Scene, a new eatery concept set to roll next fall as a joint partnership venture between the media conglomerate and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. A 15,000-square-foot facility will feature about 130 high-definition TVs, including table-side flat-screens with CBS shows old and new, ranging from "Late Night with David Letterman" to "The Honeymooners."

The restaurant will be at the entrance of Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots play. Kraft says he considered going with ESPN Zone for the site, but wanted a fresh concept for a retail and entertainment complex, and approached CBS Chief Les Moonves.

It will be CBS' first step into the food business and will have meeting space and a store selling DVDs of network and classic shows, hats, T-shirts, and other merchandise with dining upstairs and a bar on the top floor. "It's a way to expand the CBS brand in a great location, and this could be the first of a number of restaurants," notes Moonves.
