Sugar Factory American Brasserie opens at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with Snoop Dogg, Ice-T, and Coco

Entertainment legend Snoop Dogg made a special appearance to hundreds of fans last night at the new Sugar Factory American Brasserie at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. After taking several pictures, he can be overheard praising his love of candy and his excitement to get his faves: Skittles and Starbursts.

Once inside, he filled his goblet with several sweets and danced while his music blared over the speakers. He enjoyed Sugar Factory American Brasserie signature Watermelon Patch goblet, made with Pitbull’s Voli Vodka, and The Drake, a mixture of Drake’s Virginia Black whiskey, peach puree, and sweet tea topped with peach-flavored Sour Patch Rings and strawberry lemonade cotton candy. He finished off his visit with a few rainbow sliders and treated himself to the Tie-Dye Insane and Campfire Spiked S’mores milkshakes.

Actor and musician Ice-T and Coco, his actress/model/web personality wife Coco, and their precious daughter Chanel arrived shortly thereafter. Chanel made several moments for herself posing for fans and the media. The family headed inside and chose several of their favorite candies. Chanel chose one of Sugar Factory’s large rubber ducks to take home and Coco went for a pink strawberry Couture pop.

For dinner, the family dined on rainbow sliders like Snoop and also the Chinese chicken salad, Calamari, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Mac-and-Cheese pops. Chanel ate the kid’s meatballs and French Fries. They sipped several goblets including the Chainsmokers’ Pink Paloma and the Diamond Rose goblet featuring Vanderpump Rosé and garnished with an assortment of candies that Chanel put on her little fingers. Dessert centered around a variety of milkshakes and ended with the King Kong sundae. The world-renowned dessert comes with 24 scoops of ice cream, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, cherry gummis, Reese’s Pieces, waffle cones, and more.

Coco and Chanel posed for the camera in front of a neon pink “Hello Gorgeous” sign inside the restaurant.

WWE wrestler Titus O’Neill made an appearance last night. He hung out with fans, dined from the dinner menu, and filled a goblet with milk and white chocolate pretzels, Starbursts, Boston Baked Beans, and Banana Heads.
