Jim Llewellyn is the husband of my friend, photographer
Deborah Llewellyn. Deborah is shooting my Rizzoli cookbook. Sometimes, he carries her bags on photo shoots, a part of the humility phase of his recovering attorney program. After Career ADD took him around the world, he now lives in Atlanta with Deborah, his 16-year-old granddaughter, three dogs and a cat.
Brandon's Scuppernong Martini was developed in honor of Brandon Branch, his many hidden talents and deep Southern roots. Brandon works with Paula Deen and seems to function as everything from Chief OperatingOfficer of the enterprise to gopher and everything in between, including but not limited to, creative, administrative, managerial, custodial, pastoral, psychological and physical endeavors; all with an incredible knack for getting things done when they need to be done. The drink was first sampled and approved by Brandon on February 27, 2009 at the Casual Guest Cottage, Greaseland, Wilmington Island, Savannah, GA. - Jim Llewelyn
