Columbia Restaurant is a Thanksgiving tradition for many local families, including its owners, the Gonzmarts.
What's happening: We wanted to know just how much the Ybor location is preparing for its Thursday feast.
By the numbers, according to chef Jerry Bayona:
- π¦ 212 turkeys
- π₯ 1,000 pounds of mashed potatoes
- π₯£ 70 gallons of gravy
- π 500 pounds of stuffing
- π 250 pounds of sweet potato casserole
- π₯« 25 gallons of cranberry sauce
Selene's thought bubble: Now I'm a lot less overwhelmed about serving eight people. Godspeed, chef Jerry.
