#35 - Tony Gioutsos Brings Detroit Flavor and Fight to San Clemente

There is some truth to the stereotypes that come with a Southern California lifestyle. The laid back, slow-moving surf and beach vibes permeate most aspects of a beach town life. It begs the question then, that during these unprecedented times when the bar and restaurant industry is being decimated, where does one find the will to fight? Having a Detroit upbringing helps quite a bit, just ask Tony Gioutsos of Gibroni’s Pizza. After being furloughed from his previous job, he needed a way to provide for his wife and newborn child. So, after connecting with the owner of JD’s Kitchen & Bar in San Clemente, he found a way by channeling the flavors of home and creating Gibroni’s. He sits down for a rapid-fire interview recorded just before business opens for the night to discuss all things Detroit Pizza. Give a listen, then go support a truly wonderful group of people.
