Belle’s Southern Comforts
Call me inustrious or send me to Chattahoochee! I started my own line of Southern food products, Belle's Southern Comforts, and Florence Fabricant at the New York Times declares it's happy hour.
"Brooke Parkhurst... now living in New York, likes her [pimento] sharp and spicy, suitable to nibble with a martini at 5 p.m... Her Belle's Southern Comforts pimento cheese is $6.99 for 7 oz. at Murray's Cheese."
Check out my Food Network-style "making of" video here. Camera rolling, clock ticking, Irish farmhouse cheddar up to my ears—I’m on my way to high blood pressure and becoming an honest-to-goodness foodie entrepreneur! But can I really pull off a lip-smacking good brand of my very own? Martha, care to help me with my recipe for success?

We haven’t talked in a while, and this is why! Great job!
(Now where’s my lifetime supply. Kidding!)

Congratulations Brooke! Always the entrepreneur. I am so excited for your success. You work so hard, but with your natural talent it’s all worth it! I can’t wait to see what it next.
