The Orlando Shine Show

Episode 30 of "The Orlando Shine Show" was recorded at Bagel King - Casselberry (Website), a family-owned and operated bakery that was founded in Winter Park back in 1977. We invited third generation Bagel King, Frankie Perrotta, to hop on the show and chat about his family, the bagel scene, and what they've been cooking up - but we had a technical mishap and lost his interview! Shout out to Scottie Campbell for filling in on the fly. We'll be doing a makeup interview with Frankie this week!
