Spun Today with Tony Ortiz

In this episode I sit down to chop it up with Stephen Rodriguez aka Chef Papi. He is the creator of the famous Dominican Pizza, which has been featured in many events all over the country and around the world. He's also known for tons of other amazing dishes like his longaniza mac-n-cheese and a Philly cheesesteak whose cheese-pull caught the eye of the popular Instagram page devourpower, which ultimately landed him at a Food Network event.

Listen in to hear about his upbringing, his influences, his experiences and learn about the work ethic that has gotten him to this point, and the life lessons he has learned along the way.

He enlisted about a month before 9/11, the events of which would irreversibly shape our world. We take a deep dive into his experiences being deployed to Afghanistan for 12 months, followed by being deployed to Iraq for another 15 months. If you've ever wondered what War is really like … take a listen and join me in thanking Abi for his service.
