Brooks Broadhurst, senior vice president of food systems transformation at Eat\u2019n Park Hospitality Group, is excited about making more smiles through the partnership. <\/p>\n
\u201cSmiley Cookies have been part of so many cherished traditions for generations of Pittsburghers and we\u2019re excited for more memories to be made over pours of Smiley Cookie Whiskey,\u201d Broadhurst said. <\/p>\n
