A food historian couldn’t ask for a better subject to study and write about than Florida’s oldest eating establishment, which also happens to be the world’s largest devoted to Spanish cuisine. That job fell to Andy Huse who wrote about the iconic Tampa landmark in The Columbia Restaurant: Celebrating a Century of History, Culture and Cuisine. He’ll provide a behind the scenes glimpse of his experience at the University of South Florida Nov. 4 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Grace Allen Room at the USF Tampa Library. Light refreshments and snacks will be served at 2 p.m.
