Mr. Guito describes the atmosphere growing up in Ybor City and how the area has changed over the years. There is also a discussion of the Gonzmart generations and their different management styles. The interview ends with Mr. Guito discussing his personal menu favorites and how much he has enjoyed working for the Gonzmart family.
