The two, who share TV time on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, have opened up a new atlanta restaurant called Sleazy & Zino Bistro & Bar. According to the press release,

“Sleazy & Zino Bistro & Bar” serves as a primary featured location for the third season of the VH1 smash hit TV series, “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.” It is an upscale facility with a themed style approach, where the food and drink menus tie into characters and other elements associated with the show.  Serving its signature creole infused southern dishes, guests can expect a full menu including sweet onion shrimp infused grits, crawfish jambalaya, lobster guacamole dip, and their renowned peach bbq fried lobster tails, all freshly prepared on-premise. The approachable menu is designed to appeal to a diverse, yet social audience.

Last night, the restaurant hosted a grand opening, with the Jasmine BRAND correspondents present. Taped live for VH1 viewers, the evening featured a live performance by Stevie J. and Benzino’s twelve piece band – The Magnificent 757s, along with Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast members Momma Dee, Erica Dixon, Karlie Redd, Joseline Hernandez, Kirk Frost, newbie Tammy Rivera and Benzino’s new girlfriend, Althea.
