The EAT THE BOOT Podcast

What’s this? An early episode!!! Dropping heat on a Tuesday! Check out our hangs with Eusebio Gongora from Rotolo’s (on site, at Rotolo’s Craft & Crust). He fills us in on what’s coming down the pipe for the Rotolo’s empire in the near and distant future. As well as taking a look into his own storied career. And we dig into some new items hitting the Rotolo’s menu this year. You can check some of them out during Dig Baton Rouge’s EatBR restaurant week, from July 24th to the 29th.
