Feelin' hot, hot, hot!  Salsa, pimiento, & pepper.  The tastes and textures of the Caribbean have become an important part of Florida's cuisine.  What would we do without our beans & rice, empanadas, patties, coconut bread, johnny cake, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, and Cuban sandwiches?  Find out how these foods made their way to Florida by attending a presentation by St. Petersburg author and historian, Gary Mormino, at Jan's Gallery in Railroad Square Art Park.  It's part of Caribé 2018! and is free and open to the public.  The lecture and discussion will be followed by a food tasting available for purchase.
