Interview with Lee Aquino from The Birch & Vine
Welcome to the St. Petersburg Foodies Podcast Episode 51! Our featured interview today is with Lee Aquino, the Executive Chef from The Birch & Vine in downtown St. Pete. When The Birch & Vine opened in 2013, they were my #1 personal favorite St. Pete restaurant. Things have changed and evolved over the years, and Chef Lee's unique culinary creations has them fast moving back towards the top of my list. Our musical guest today is the band Speakeasy with their new EP, "Bloom!". We'll have Brendon Porter & Eric Yoder from the band. We feature their song, "Desert Rose".
