How It Began:
Why Monterey?

Picture

In 2014,
Leigh Zimmerman & Domenick Allen
were searching for
the perfect place
to premiere their newest
innovative culinary adventure,
re-imagining the
Classic French Meringue
and combining it with
the colors and energy of
Classic Rock.







They wanted a location known for its
artistic, musical & literary legacy,
fine dining and superb wines,
and especially for its
breathtaking natural scenic beauty.
For these reasons alone they were understandably
drawn to Monterey, California.

But a legendary event in the city’s history confirmed their choice...



In 1967,
Monterey became the epicenter
of the musical universe,
when the world's first rock festival,
the Monterey International Pop Festival,
took place on June 16-18.


The festival is memorable for
amazing performances by
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who,
Ravi Shankar, Otis Redding,
and many more...
performances that shaped
the future of Classic Rock and inspired
Woodstock & the Summer of Love.

Leigh and Domenick were
inspired too, and so,
with their
14-year-old daughter
Cayleigh,
they moved to Monterey
from their home in London
and created
MONTEREY MERINGUES™.

In tribute to the Festival,
they named their Signature Flavor

MONTEREY POP-CORN™

Sea Salted Caramel Meringue,
topped with Caramel Popcorn,
infused with Chocolate Ganache and
Popping Candy.

When icons like Jimi, Janis and The Who
brought their music, magic
and psychedelic colors to Monterey,
it truly was a unique Happening.

Now, with Psychedelicious
™
MONTEREY MERINGUES™
it’s happening all over again!
