    For those interested, I wanted to plug the event at the Ybor City Columbia tomorrow night, November 10. Tapas at 6.30, discussion at 7, book signing to follow. The book is as much about family as it is about cooking and business, and the event should reflect the personal nature of the book.

              I was having flash issues and the couple pics I took of the food didn't turn out... :-(

          I was fortunate to share lunch with Andy at the Columbia last week when the Times was doing the photo shoot for Wednesday's article. Best of all was that Andy had an advance copy of the book and I had a few minutes to look it over - it's beautiful!!! The pages are loaded with photographs that will bring back many memories to those that have been here long enough to remember the Columbia in past years......and I can't wait to get a copy home so I can read more about the restaurant's storied past. I highly recommend it to any and all of you foodies!
