Thanks for stopping by! I always appreciate hearing from readers, whether you have a question about something I’ve reviewed, feedback on a Monkeyshine flavor, or simply want to share your own experience. This space is built on connection, so don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s a topic you’d like me to explore, a product you’re curious about, or a story you’d like to tell. I do my best to respond personally to every message, and your input helps shape what comes next. Let’s keep the conversation going because honest dialogue is at the heart of everything I do.

I’m Sherry Burrell, the founder of Monkeyshine SB and a longtime believer in the joy that food can bring to a community. Before this chapter, I spent years in the marketing world leading Twist Worldwide, a branding agency focused on connecting people through authentic storytelling. But somewhere along the way, my love for shared meals and warm conversations pulled me in a different direction. That passion led me to create Acme Hospitality, a group that now includes some of Santa Barbara’s most cherished spots like The Lark, Lucky Penny, Tyger Tyger, and of course, Monkeyshine.
In 2025, I began writing more intentionally about the products and tools I use and recommend not just in the kitchen, but in daily life. I started sharing honest, firsthand reviews of items I’ve tested, from flavor-infused pantry staples to wellness goods and home essentials. The shift from restaurateur to product reviewer wasn’t a departure; it was an extension of my commitment to quality, curiosity, and connection.
