Hosts Julie Slater and Jason Friday chat with Guido (who didn't want to use his last name) - who was Julie and Jason's food tour guide while they were in Florence, Italy in September 2023...Born in Florence, here he explains why he left the computer world of I.T. (the stresses of that kind of work) to become a guide for people to discover some favorite food and wine gems in Florence...how he got a license to become a food tour guide - learning the history and art of the city...the importance of a great quality extra virgin olive oil...Guido also gives a recommendation for one of his favorite spots in Florence to eat one of his fav meals Ribollita: (https://www.trattoriadatito.com/)...how he works as much as possible during the high season and then takes a bunch of time off...how he loves to share the culture of Florence...

IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE: find out Guido's favorite city (outside of Florence) to visit in Italy...what part of the the U.S. he would choose to live if he had to (although he's prolly never leaving Florence)...what instrument he plays and what kind of music he listens to...his favorite dish to make...spoiler alerts, he eats a lot of pasta...

Laura and Bill join the AFTERPOD where we talk about our guest after they leave the cobblestone street in Florence...
