It’s safe to say there were plenty of good eats from across the US represented at the suite. While margarita trucks have been revving up across the US during the past 18 months, Rasta Rita takes things to the next level with uniquely crafted food and drink recipes, sweet vintage food trucks and the ability to pull an event together complete with necessary licenses and provisions across LA. According to Bryce (who is also a US veteran), the inspiration to take the food truck craze in a juicy new direction came to him during the couple’s trip to Jamaica. Rasta Rita Cantina’s founders Bryce and Jeri were on hand to introduce their fresh mixology-inspired cocktail mixers and discuss their innovative event and meeting food and beverage packages. The other arm of the charity supports the training of medical professionals at all levels who will be educated to meet veterans’ special needs. Block grants will be donated to treatment facilities for the express purpose of making available treatment to all veterans needing care, especially with mental health and addiction issues.

The funds raised will support specific veterans’ causes.

With the various lounge and suite options available to us (and there were a surprising number of them in light of the circumstances), we selected to check out the Secret Room Events Pre-Red Carpet Style Lounge for the 2021 Emmys as it would most likely deliver the most balanced, flavourful and interestingly presented boost of fun and innovation.
