S2 Ep2029: THe INQUISITIVE TONGUE A Taste of Italy @Historic Mazzaro's! (Podcast Version)

In this episode of The Inquisitive Tongue, host Nanette Wiser continues looking at the history of iconic food and restaurants in Tampa Bay. Today we talk with culinarian Robert Smith, Mazzaro's Italian Market General Manager who started off as head chef (and still dabbles in the kitchen and with the owners on recipes) to share how Mazzaro's got started (coffee roasting), taking over a local sausage maker's building and expanding into all things Italian, and the importance of the Italian American fare and experience in Tampa Bay.
