Richard Gonzmart Loves WUSF

Richard Gonzmart knows a thing or two about being an institution:

"Hi, my name is Richard Gonzmart. I'm the fourth-generation owner/operator of the Columbia Restaurant Group. We are Florida's oldest restaurant. We weren't always, but we just outlasted everybody. We're one of only about 15 restaurants in the entire United States that are 100 years and older that are still 100 percent owned by the founding family. And I say from one landmark to a great institution, WUSF, happy 50th anniversary. It's a golden anniversary. Congratulations to everyone. Here's to the next 50."

"I host a food podcast" is a great icebreaker at parties.
