Not sure if he and Brigette are still together.
Originally the Legacy Restaurant had Nancy Lopez's name on it but when she started to get complaints from patrons that "there was a fly in my soup!", she asked to have her name only associated with the "country club" (5 year endorsement contract that includes the use of a designer home in Briar Meadow) and not the restaurant. So they had to change all the signs and state licensing within the first year it was opened to remove her name.
She would correct you if you said the "Nancy Lopez restaurant".
Hope this helps. Skip

Just to clarify, it may not be the Nancy Lopez Restaurant, but the restaurant website, menu, and advertising state the restaurant name as:
"Legacy Restaurant at the Nancy Lopez Country Club"
