I have been trying for a long time to nail this lady down for an interview
and I finally caught her off guard! You will be pleased to know that
August’s Bartender of the Month is our very own Trisha Solomon Norris
and you can find her running the show at Sundae Café. All of Tybee
knows you can’t swing a cat around here without hitting a Solomon and
that’s a good thing! Great family with a good sense of humor and Trisha
is no exception. I had a chance to sit down with this hard-working girl
and here’s her story…
Born in Atlanta, but raised on Tybee, Trisha is a fourth generation
Tybee Solomon, so for those having a hard time with the math, that is
technically forever! She attended all of the Tybee schools and went off
to St. Vincent’s and then Johnson High to become an early high school
graduate. During the summers, she worked for the City of Tybee as
Director of the Children’s Program and Summer in the Park (this being
before the YMCA came along).
During this growing up thing, since the age of 10, Trisha also worked
for her parent’s restaurant, The Old Post Office Café. Talk about starting
early! Throughout her career, she has also worked at The Crab Shack for
several years, The Verandah (back in the day of Ocean Plaza), the Pier,
Nickie’s and The Sand Bar. For the past nine years, she’s been rocking
it at Sundae Café.
In between all of this work thing and traveling, Trisha married the love of
her life, Ashley Norris (whom I also love, but don’t tell anyone) and made
Aleena, who is now a happy four year old.
I asked Trisha the basic questions of life:
Tybee Life: Forever
Passion: Family and traveling
Grow Up: Nope
Spirit Animal: An Eagle. They are spiritual, soaring and free. They
are also really bad ass!
Trisha’s go-to drink is called a Double Chocolate French Kiss. Made
with Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur, Dorda Double Chocolate Liqueur,
Grand Marnier and Half and Half, this martini is breakfast, lunch and
dinner! Refreshingly decadent, you will want another before you have
even finished the first one! Go see Trisha and get a French Kiss!
