Hey Love Muffins! On last Sunday “I GOT PIMENTO’D” (phrase coined by Chef Stacey “Sugar” West. This was my first official indoor event of 2021 of the Pandemic. I headed out across what seemed like the United States from where I lived to attend a private tasting event with Suga compliments of Leesburg PR.
FOOD & LIFESTYLE TV STUDIO:
The event took place at the Food & Lifestyle TV Studio located at 3795 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30340 in DeKalb County. The Visionary Founder and CEO, J. David “Deevo” Harrison, a former management level transaction attorney for a Fortune 20 Company and Chief Operating Officer Jay L. Young, the technical mind behind the studio infrastructure and a former international software and sales executives are the geniuses behind the brand.

CHEF SUGA
Chef Suga is as sweet as pie. Her beautiful smile lights up a room. The moment that we arrived every guest was welcomed with mimosa made with my favorite juice company “Ginger Yums”. As we walked into the tasting we were immediately greeted by both Suga and her husband. She earned her name from her grandchild and I think that it’s the sweetest thing. Suga gave us background on herself and how she started Suga Pimento Cheese. Let be honest I like Pimento Cheese but I have also had some that was not good at all but when I tried Suga’s I was immediately
“Pimento’d”. The ambiance was great and so was the food.

Zen WTR was provided to us during the tasting and at the time of the event these had not official been released to the public so it was an added treat to be amongst the first to try Zen WTR. I drink alkaline water once or twice a month and this was by far one of the best ones that I have had.
