OWN TV'S "WELCOME TO SWEETIE PIE'S" TIM NORMAN AT TABOO 2 BISTRO IN ATLANTA

During a three-city press tour, OWN’s Welcome to Sweetie Pies and Tim Norman definitely created a surge of excitement during their stop in Atlanta, prior to the premiere. Norman took part in several media interviews during a two-day period, making stops at NPR, Kiss104FM, RadioOne, CBS Radio and Rolling Out. Norman also sat down with urban bloggers such as Freddy O, Burton Wire and Yes Lord Radio, to name a few. As Tim traveled around the city, he was repeatedly asked by media and everyday citizens: "When are you going to open a Sweetie Pie's in Atlanta?"

Taboo 2 Bistro hosted a packed house at the recent celebration of the launch of OWN's Welcome to Sweetie Pie's. Red carpet participants were Tim Norman, Charles Crenshaw, Bruce George, Chloe Cook and Danielle. A few Atlanta-based celebrities and media representatives from WEtv's "Cutting it in Atlanta," VH1 "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" and Kiss104's Si-Man, who broadcasted live from Taboo 2 Bistro, were among those joining the celebration.

Tune in to Welcome to Sweetie Pie's every Saturday night on OWN at 9 p.m. ET.
