This episode of In Good Company features Anthony Tringale, the creator behind Eat Local New York — a platform dedicated to supporting local restaurants across the state. Anthony’s path didn’t start in content. Raised in Northern Kentucky and later Syracuse, he grew up serving at church and working in his family’s diner before pursuing ministry and eventually working in production roles at a mega-church in Texas. That season sharpened his ability to execute. A skill that would later define his work.After returning to New York, a social media side hustle turned into something bigger when he realized struggling restaurants didn’t just need great food, they needed visibility. That insight became Eat Local New York. Today, Anthony focuses on impact over aesthetics, creating content that drives real results for small businesses. Most of his work is done for free, fueled by a long list of recommended spots and a mission rooted in community. His work spans cities like Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, where he’s seen the power of local support firsthand.Now, Anthony is building what’s next — from launching a hot sauce with Karma Sauce to expanding into a broader media brand called The Sidewalk. His long-term vision is to tell deeper, long-form stories that highlight the culture behind the food. At its core, this episode is about using your platform with purpose and proving that showing up consistently can make a real impact.This podcast is presented by Thomas Media Group, a full-service digital marketing agency located in Rochester, NY.
