Joe DiMaggio Jr. looks to become restaurant icon

And their signature dish is the Engelburger!

Joe DiMaggio Jr., wants his name to be as recognizable as his distant cousin, the Hall-of-Fame baseball player and coffee maker salesman.

...“He was very reserved,” said DiMaggio, who sports the same nose as his famous cousin. “He was a pretty amazing individual, an icon.

“I remember the first time I played golf with him. I was 22 and I had never played golf before,” DiMaggio recalled. “By the seventh hole, my (score was) 126. He told me to get (expletive) off the course. Since that time, I’ve devoted part of my life to becoming a better golfer.”

Then there was a run-in with some cops. “I was driving a Lamborghini Countach and going 176 mph between Tampa and Orlando,” DiMaggio recalled. “The cop pulled me over and ripped me right out of the car. He saw my name and asked if my dad was Joe DiMaggio (his dad is also named Joe, but not the Joe that once hit in 56 straight games) and I told him it was. I wasn’t lying. The cop then told me my dad signed a baseball of his when he was six. He ended up letting me go with a warning.”
