TASTY TREATS AND BANGIN’ BEATS Buffalo Beauties Join Forces to Showcase Their Talents
BUFFALO – In the 70s, it was Beverly Johnson. In the 80s: Rick James. During the 90s, we gave Brian McKnight, and the new millennium introduced Jessica White to the world. Now, in this next decade, the Queen City has two more stars to thrust into the spotlight: Lové Anthony and Jocelyn Bownan. One: a jet-setting food fanatic Lové Anthony in search of international fabulosity; the other: an angelic songbird telling the stories of the streets. Now the two have joined forces to show the world just what they’re made of, and they’re starting in the place that bred their talents: Buffalo, New York. A Love2Eat viewsing party and official Jocelyn Bowman release party will be held on Sunday, February 13 at Buffalo LIVE, 3053 Main St. (corner of Minnesota) from 8 p.m. to midnight. Host of her own online eatery exploration show, the bubbly and beautiful Lové Anthony travels the world to provide an action-packed and fun-filled “how-to” selection guide to young urban jetsetters. In her season premiere, Anthony uses the City’s worldwide cultural melting pot to her advantage as she searches Gotham for the world’s best dishes. “I wanted to show that, in New York City, the world is right outside your front door. You can go anywhere to sample anything: the extravagance of the best overseas delicacies, or the simplicity of a good hometown slice of pizza. I wanted to travel the world…in New York City,” says Anthony, when asked about the story she tells in her latest episode. Visiting venues across Gotham City, Anthony takes us on a world tour of the finest foods and cultural cuisines that will make anyone’s taste buds dance with delight. New national recording artist Jocelyn Bowman is set to release her debut single & video "I Hate Love" the track visits the world of a young woman's relationship between love and hate. Her upcoming album "Camouflage" hits stores summer 2011. Never missing a single beat on their journeys to sharing these delectable destinations and sultry sounds with the world, Lové and Jocelyn take you on an unforgettable ride to broaden your horizons and encourage your soul. These Buffalo Beauties have established themselves as forces to be reckoned with, and the Day of Reckoning is here! Love2Eat can currently be seen on www.Love2EatTV.com, and has been featured in the widely popular Honey Magazine.
