Celebrate 100 episodes of Savor the Ozarks with a true Springfield legend! 🎉 Joy sits down with Nicola Gilardi—the culinary icon behind beloved spots like Teatro, Gilardi’s, Nicola’s, and now Maso Pizza Bar. Nicola shares his incredible journey from growing up in a restaurant family near the Italian Alps to building a decades-long legacy in the 417. 🇮🇹🍕

Tune in for a fun, heartfelt conversation filled with stories about the local restaurant scene, the importance of supporting independent local businesses, what it's really like catering those epic Chiefs tailgates, and why Springfield became his forever home. It's a delicious milestone you won't want to miss! 🥂❤️✨
