ANDREA LEPORE knows how to tap into the city of Sacramento when it comes to opening restaurants in the Capital City. Lepore leads a women-based ownership that is responsible for bringing us Solomon's and the Russ Room located on the K Street mall. The space. The food. The energy. The connection. The restaurant and live entertainment space were inspired by Tower Records owner Russ Solomon. The story about how it all came together will blow your mind.

In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard catches up with the savvy entrepreneur . "If I were starting a restaurant I would easily seek out the expertise of Andrea. Her way of giving life to an idea is simply amazing to witness. She is an all-star in the field." Our conversation hits THREE areas:

SEGMENT ONE 🍴 talks about our connection through the Sacramento Kings and Monarchs. After we get basketball talk out of the way, we dive right into Solomon's. Lepore tells us about the origin, including her meeting with Russ Solomon.
SEGMENT TWO 🥯 focuses in on the amazing menu at Solomon's. Get ready for bagels and street food. We discuss flexibility in the restaurant business as well as what goes on behind creating a brand that fits and makes sense. We talk about creating an experience and we finish off with what was behind the really cool Solomon's Logo.
SEGMENT THREE 🎶 kicks off with the desire and passion to get into the restaurant business (blame it on her Italian 🇮🇹 roots. We hit a few topics the rest of the way including, Hot Italian Restaurant, business tips, Sacramento, and the Deftones. Finish it off with Rapid Fire 💥.

Here are my favorite HIGHLIGHTS ...
▪️1. No doubt. 916-444-3000. I will leave it at that.
▪️2. Andrea's description behind brining Solomon's to life. You can tell that she clearly thinks outside the box and you know what ... it delivers!
▪️3. I am just proud as a friend to see Andrea doing so well in what is a very hard space to be in when it comes to being a restaurant owner. And believe me ... there is more to come.

Our Connection | Andrea and I worked together for 10 years when she was on the Media Relations team for the Sacramento Kings and Monarchs.
