For The Love of Pork
Business Social
Where there was pork there was fire last Saturday at Hope Gardens for the third staging of Pork Palooza, the annual opening event of the Jamaica Food & Drink Festival. Foodies circled the New Levels Decor-styled, barn-chic venue at Palm Drive East to reinforce their love for ‘everything swine’ with refreshing palate cleansers at the Select Brands mega-watering hole and the Tru-Juice counter. Business Social accounts for the smiles at last weekend’s seasoned food event.
