Besos for Bezos!
Billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancé Lauren Sánchez were spotted at the buzzy new Frog Club with friends on Friday, where the table dropped $1,000 on one cheeky purchase.
The frog-themed spot, which serves up drinks like the Dirty Kermit, is known for putting stickers over patrons phones, making it a perfect spot for celebs to get some privacy.
Snapping pictures will get people thrown out, according to their list of rules — which also includes a ban on lying about your birthday and asking for a free meal.
Spies tell that the couple and pals dined on escargot casserole and burgers and plunked down $1000 for the “Chef’s Kiss Special,” which gets the diner a smooch on the cheek from Chef Liz Johnson.
We hear neither Bezos or Sánchez was the receiver of the smacker. Johnson told us when asked for comment, “It was a delightful evening, but I don’t kiss and tell :)”
We hear Bezos left his mark, signing a plate before they left.
The hotspot is Johnson’s first since she had a messy split from her husband Will Aghajanian. She accused him of assault and torturing numerous kittens and he accused her trying to burn him in the kitchen.
The pair ran Horses in Los Angeles, of which Bezos was also a fan.
Johnson and Aghajanin met working at the famed Noma in Copenhagen and went on to become known for sophisticated fare at Catbird Seat in Nashville and Mimi in the West Village.
The tag line for the new spot is: “Frog Club is the New Yorkiest room in New York and it will leave you wondering, what happened at 86 Bedford last night?”
