DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Drinking pasta on the beach?
Sam's Coal Grilled Pizza 817 E. International Speedway Blvd. Brand new joint under the “World's Most Famous Beach” sign.
Sam Tadros (aka “Pizza Don”) sold frozen pizza.
“Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, used to order pizza from us,” Tadros said. “One day I said, 'Thank you,' and received 10 cases of Teremana Tequila. And then I found out it was The Rock.”
Johnson is the founder of Teremana Tequila.
So Sam thought it would be appropriate to cook a dish with tequila at his new job. It's similar to a more traditional vodka sauce, but with a whole new edge.
