The luncheon featured colorful fresh flowers in vases of
various boot styles, as well as a full Southern tea lunch
spread for the nearly 70 guests.
“I started making it because his mother made it
for him when we would go visit his parents and he
loved pimiento cheese so I thought, well, I could do
that. I can figu e that out. So I started working with it
with the plain cheese ring with the jelly in the middle
for holidays and we loved that, cheese straws and then
pimiento cheese. I thought it was good, I woo’d him,
and I’d take it to Braves games in the early 90s at the
tailgates and people seemed to really like it,” Sassy
explained.
Whether it was the pimiento cheese or Sassy’s
sweet disposition, it worked and the Henrys married
and started a family. In 2002, the young family was
living in Atlanta but looking for a change of pace
from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Brian, who grew up in southern Louisiana “Cajun
Country” thought something along the panhandle
would be great. But Sassy spent the summers of her
youth visiting Pawley’s Island, S.C., a laid-back little
coastal Carolina beach town that she loved. They
visited and reminders of Brian’s youth began sprouting
up along the fishing piers and friendly faces, so,
when the historic Sea View Inn came up for sale, they
took a chance.
“Brian was working at Coca-Cola and he was
like, ‘Well, that’s great and all, but what am I going to
do?’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean, what are you
going to do? You’re like ‘the guy.’ You’re going to be
like the mayor of Sea View.’ I talked him into just
going to look at it, just fi d out what it’s about. So we
did and loved it and signed this management agreement
with option to buy, which we eventually
executed,” Sassy said.
Brian said the couple packed up their kids and
left lmost in the middle of the night once the deal
with Sea View was done, much to the surprise of their
friends who thought surely they wouldn’t be making
such a bold move.
